Atlanta Wedding Photographer David Diener Teaches Digital Photography at Emory Continuing Education

I wanted to give a quick reminder that this is the last week you can sign up for the digital photography class at Emory Continuing Education.  It is a great class for beginners and advanced photographers that want to improve their skills.  You can sign up at Emory Digital Photography Sign Up.

We will start with the basics of the camera operation and then go on to the best practices for taking photos.  We will cover how to take photos under difficult situations.  One of the things I push is that you don’t need a lot of expensive equipment but know how to control your camera to get the best photos you can in any situation.  

As an Atlanta wedding photographer I have shot in many difficult situations.  I will cover how to look for good light.  We will also cover how to adjust your settings for each situation may it be sports, landscapes, architecture, candids and portraits.  We will also cover lens options and the best lens for each situation. 

After this class, participants will be able to:

• Identify aesthetic methods of creating more impactful photographs, including composition techniques, depth-of-field control, and use of patterns, lines, and thoughtful backgrounds
• Choose the digital camera controls that enable them to produce the highest quality image files
• Practice fine tuning exposures while shooting
• Practice choosing options for resolution and digital output for online sharing, images or printing
• Explain when and why to use wide-angle vs telephoto lens
• Identify how to control White Balance while shooting and in Post-Production
• Practice photographing people, both candidly and posed
• Evaluate and explain the importance of color saturation in a photograph
