| Going out with friends to photograph is fun. Join us! We photograph at locations in and around Sarasota. The following week, in the classroom, we look at our photos with friendly commentary. The French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson said of photography, "Doesn’t take any brains, takes sensitivity, a finger and two legs. But it is beautiful when you feel that your body is working or, like this, full of air and in contact with nature, it’s beautiful."
Students may repeat this class. Class placement advice: The class is more about sensitivity and less about technical stuff. Are you using an ILC/mirrorless camera, or a DSLR? If so, and you want to learn about the tools of photography, consider taking Digital Photography 1 - Basic Camera Tools. Cellphones or any digital camera are okay. Bring your camera's manual if you have it. Make sure the battery is charged and that there's space on the memory card.

| Prerequisite: Any digital camera is okay. You'll get more out of the class if the shutter can be changed on your camera (look for shutter-priority in the manual, or either S or Tv on a dial or screen on your camera). To use an external flash, your camera needs a hot shoe.
Great light makes great photos. It's the essential ingredient. What's great light? Light that has the direction, contrast, color, and other qualities that make your photo communicate what you want it to say, visually. The class will cover natural light, studio lighting, and flash. There will be hands-on demonstrations in class. If one is available, we will visit a photography exhibit. The class will photograph together in the field. Assignments will be given.
Bring your camera's manual if you have one. Make sure the battery is charged and that there's space on the memory card.

| Take pictures in the dark? Yes! Twilight is good, too. "Painting" a scene with light, using flashlights, will also be explored. We'll photograph near Five Points and near Burns Court. The class will alternate between the field and classroom.
A tripod is required (such as AmazonBasics 60-Inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag, about $24, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KP473Q/).
A camera where the shutter speed can be controlled is required. Look for shutter-priority in the manual, or either S or Tv on a dial or screen on your camera.
Bring your camera's manual if you have it. Make sure the battery is charged and that there's space on the memory card.
If you have a spare battery, bring it.
Bring a flashlight.
