Photography Workshop with Dmitri Kasterine. "Using Your Digital SLR Camera." In this workshop I will explain the workings and purpose of the essential settings and functions of your digital SLR. You will then be able to shoot pictures knowing that they will be in focus, free of camera shake, correctly exposed, and with good color and image quality for making terrific prints. In the second session (November 21), after you have practiced the techniques we explored, there will be plenty time to answer questions and move on to the more advanced manual techniques with flash, contrast andcolor control. Please bring your camera or you can use ours and then borrow it in your own time. Free and open to the Vassar community.
