PhotoArts Marin - Dedicated to Teach, to Create, to Preserve the Art of Photography simple path

The Introductory Class and Level 1 PhotoField Trips go "light" years beyond taking snapshots with a smart phone or your auto point and shoot  These classes will begin with how to use your cameras auto setting and then, by understanding and using the camera’s manual settings use the Craft of Photography and then we will incorporate the elements of art and begin to explore the limitless possibilities for the photographer / artist. Photography is an art form that is available to everyone. Best of all you will learn how to use the camera's metering system to achieve the correct exposure which is critical in digital photography - no more washed out colors or over exposed images. With our very busy lives we need information that is clear, concise and easy to understand and with additional support when needed.

PhotoArts Marin does not endorse any re seller, equipment or software except when the quality and easy of use is superior to all others. These classes are never an attempt to sell a particular supplier, product or service.
