Continuing Education

September 2nd, 2009

I have wanted to take a photography class since I bought my DSLR in 2006. I realized quickly that with my travel schedule I’d never be able to take an actual class that you have to attend since I’d have to miss so many sessions. I found some online classes that looked great but it never worked out. Stupid traveling every month. Stupid work schedule. Stupid WORKING. 

Well I am working no more so I finally signed up for one! I am so excited!

The photographer that teaches the class is a former brooklynite who does amazing work. I mean look at these. I am so bummed she moved because I’d love to do a family series with her…maybe one day.

Here are the details-

 

Welcome to the digital photography class! I’m so excited to have you here for this experience! Class will begin Monday September 7th with your first lesson plan, assignment, and email. In the meantime, make sure you have your camera manual out, your batteries charged and your memory cards ready!

Let’s summarize some of the features of our class:

• I’ll walk you through the different modes on your camera and how to use them.
• I’ll address basic camera techniques, teach you about finding and using natural light, and composition rules.
• Step-by-step video tutorials let you see and hear the techniques
• You’ll get a lesson plan and assignment each week.
• You’ll get an email from me 5 days a week for six weeks, with encouragement, coupons, and inspiration
• You’ll get access to our private class message board, where you can chat with other participants about anything you like
• I’ll be available once a week for a class chat to answer any questions about the lesson and assignment from the week.
• You’ll get access to our class image gallery, where you can upload your lesson photographs and get praise and feedback from other students and a critique from the instructor
• All of the videos you’ll see will be available forever from your course home page at JessicaSprague.com. No expiration, even after the course ends!
• You’ll also get a bonus downloadable handout about photography equipment and what to look for when buying cameras, lenses and accessories.

 

So yay! This should also be very exciting for all of YOU because I will hopefully stop churning out photos that look like this gem:

Honestly, how many more times can I get away with saying “Sorry for the crap photo”

NO MORE!

well maybe
