In this introductory class you will learn about your camera and its components, gain a greater understanding of aperture, shutter speed, camera modes, depth of field, white balance, and more. Please bring your film or digital camera.

Instructor: Pedro Nogueira has been taking pictures since he was a teenager and the enthusiasm has never stopped. We may say that photography is not about the equipment and its technicalities, but knowing the basics of how the camera works and how to set it up, can be very useful to help capture images the way we see them. I hope that in this workshop he will be able to share with you some aspects that may be useful for your photographic experience.  Click Here to Register or call Blyth Festival Box Office
