Photography course - Course 2 : Aperture and depth of field (online)

3h30

Camera Beginner: master your camera

Generally speaking, the camera lens, and the notions and adjustments that result from it, will be at the heart of this workshop:

The notion of focal length, i.e. the angle of vision covered by a lens, will be discussed and applied during the practical phase of the workshop. You will learn the advantages and disadvantages of each category of focal length.
You will learn how to easily manage the exposure of an image by adjusting the aperture. You will learn how to use the A/Av shooting mode.
You will be able to manage your depth of field, i.e. the area of sharpness that extends in front of and behind the subject in focus (and therefore also the blurred area).

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to take portraits and landscape photos without distortion (linked to the choice of focal length), to put an artistic blur in your image, and to choose the sharpness area (linked to the choice of aperture).

During this course, which is held by videoconference, small practical exercises are of course planned. In this respect, please make sure that you have your device loaded and equipped with an empty image memory card. Your teacher will establish the practice according to the environment of the house or apartment.

Key Details

This course lasts 3h30 and includes a theoretical explanation and exercises (within the limits of space of the house/apartment).

In short...

For this second workshop on camera technique, we will be discussing (among other things) "depth of field"; a central notion in photography and very influential on the aesthetics of your shots!
