Intro to Digital Photography

Bought a new camera but can't figure out how to use it? Or maybe you know how to use it, but you'd like some tips on getting stronger images. Or maybe you are still working with film and want to take the leap into digital.

Introduction to Digital Photography will be offered at Hamilton Gallery on Saturday, September 25 and October 2. On October 16, the class will meet at Loch Raven Reservoir. (there will be no class on October 9).

Photographer and long-time Hamilton Gallery member Ron Cohn will be teaching this class, which will run from 9AM-11:45AM. The first hour will consist of lecture and the rest of the time will be devoted to individual consultation with students. Cost for the class is $25.
