The basics of exposure and what makes a good photograph with Tom Baker

What makes a good photograph? The composition? The direction of light? The subject matter? The exposure? Come learn the answers to these questions and gain insight into the basics of improving your photography skills in a two-hour class with freelance photographer Tom Baker. Tom will help you understand terms like aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, overexposure/underexposure, focal length, and other terminology, while explaining the elements that must come together to create an effective and appealing photo that can provide content and meaning to the viewer. His approach will be from the standpoint of a photojournalist, but will also give examples of artistic and landscape photography to help aid understanding and importance of color, light, pattern, and depth. Camera types covered will be SLRs, point-and-shoot, and cell phones. Tom will even explain the basics of using that pesky flash that can be frustrating for most to work with. In the end, you will have the tools to help you understand what makes a good photograph and the knowledge to apply them to your own photography.
