2023 Photography Classes in Burlington with Andy Porter

Starting in January, 2023 I will be teaching Photography Classes in Burlington through Parks and Recreation. 

There are TWO classes offered, the first class is the Basic DSLR Class, and then there is an Intermediate Class. 

Basic DSLR Class

In the Basic DSLR class we’ll cover aperture, shutter speed and ISO and show you how to change them on your camera. Next we’ll discuss how to use these manual settings to create the images you want. We’ll practice the use bracketing your exposure to ensure you get the right shot, and more!  We will also cover the use of polarizers and capturing images in the RAW format.

I will teach the Basic DSLR class FOUR times.

  • Thursday, May 18th, 6pm to 8pm
  • Thursday, June 8th, 6 to 8pm
  • Thursday, July 13, 6pm to 8pm
  • Thursday, August 10th, 6pm to 8pm

Intermediate Class

In the Intermediate Class we will discuss different lenses, focal lengths and what they do; we’ll delve deeper into depth of field and how to master control over how much of what’s in front of you is in focus. Then we’ll cover the use of different shutter speeds to create stunning, unique images.

Next will be 2 advanced techniques to obtain a sharp focus throughout your entire image: Focus & Recompose and Hyperfocal Distance Focusing.

We will cover in detail how to capture Night Sky images of the stars and Milky Way. We will go over all the equipment needed, exact camera settings, locations for night sky imaging and more!

I will teach the Intermediate Class two times:

  • Tuesday, June 20, 6pm to 8pm
  • Tuesday, August 22, 6pm to 8pm
