Photography Class: Master Your Camera Controls - Boston Public Garden
Master camera settings while shooting at Boston Public Garden in this outdoor photography class.
This hands-on photography class at the Boston Public Garden introduces you to the essentials of mastering camera controls in a vibrant outdoor setting. Surrounded by the charm of Boston, you'll adjust aperture, shutter speed and ISO while moving between sunlit lawns and shaded, tree-lined paths. The instructor demonstrates how to capture crisp motion from passing swan boats or create soft background blur among colorful seasonal blooms.
Key concepts like exposure, white balance and depth of field become intuitive through guided practice and thoughtful instruction. Each photographer gains confidence while responding to shifting light and dynamic scenes throughout the gardens. With supportive feedback and creative exercises, cameras begin to feel like tools of expression rather than something complicated. By the end, you'll move beyond auto mode, equipped to make intentional decisions and capture images with clarity, control and personal style.

Richard patiently walked us through the steps and gave great instruction. I finally know how to navigate my camera that I've been using on auto for ten years. I'd definitely recommend this course to others
