Just in time for the holidays, a workshop to help you take more exciting and memorable pictures

Today’s digital cameras deliver excellent results in the automatic mode, but sometimes we don’t get the picture we really wanted. How do we change what is in focus and what is blurry? How do we make the image look brighter or darker than the camera thinks it should look? How do we turn off the electronic flash so the museum guard will stop yelling at us?

On Saturday, November 13, the Ojai Photography Club presents: Getting Your Camera Out of “Auto” Mode – Let The Creativity Begin!

Our guest speaker is Roy Allen, president of the Ventura Camera Club. Covering photographic fundamentals - from basic camera settings to artistic composition - Roy’s presentation helps novice photographers gain confidence to experiment with their cameras.

Roy will discuss the relationship between shutter speed, lens aperture, and ISO settings, and how to use your digital camera more creatively through its different exposure modes.

Members of the Ventura Camera Club and Ojai Photography Club will be on hand to answer attendees’ questions about composition, lighting, and specific cameras.

If you’re ready to find out what all those dials, buttons, and pictographs on your camera are all about; this is the workshop for you! (Attendees are encouraged to bring along their cameras and instruction manuals).
