Photography Class: Master Your Camera Controls - Newport Waterfront
Join new friends at the Newport waterfront for a lively photography class where ocean breezes and harbor views set the scene.

Along the way, learn to take control of your camera with simple, easy-to-follow guidance on aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Practice focusing modes, exposure compensation and white balance while capturing candid street moments and shimmering reflections. Explore composition techniques like framing, leading lines and horizon balance to create images with depth and impact. Expect quick tips, creative prompts and plenty of time to shoot. Whether you bring a DSLR or mirrorless camera, you’ll leave with sharper skills, fresh inspiration and a gallery that feels like summer in Newport.

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
