Learn to make your DSLR work for you

Discover five classes in five weeks that create a world of opportunities.

You know you’ve got a passion for photography. Investing in your DSLR camera was a no-brainer, though it hurt to see the money go. But even with a camera that can make facets of your job easier, it’s not magic. If your work has lost its spark or it has never quite reached its potential, it could be helpful to go back to the basics and give yourself a refresher course.

Get all of the basic you need during Foundations of Digital Photography classes through Project Basho. The course can open (or reopen) your eyes to the possibilities made available through digital photography. Learn more about the visual and technical aspects of the field as well as how to manipulate various elements to your favor.

Get the details on:

• Proper exposure
• Principle of composition
• Lighting techniques
• Image processing
• Printing (basic computer skills required)

Of course, once you receive the foundational classes you are free to explore other classes offered by Project Basho. Learn more about editing, retouching, special techniques for night photography and more.
