Learn / Review the basics of camera operation, shutter speed and aperture settings for proper exposure in many situations and the principles of composition with any type of camera.

We will be starting with a one hour class room session to go over camera basics and composition. Break for lunch. Then spend several hours wondering the street of Lowell looking for scenic places.

During the fun field trip, we will apply the technical basics that we learned during the first hour and also reinforce the principles of compositional by taking lots of photos.
