March 30 Mastering Camera Setting Workshop

Mastering Camera Settings: A Hands-On Workshop

Mastering Camera Settings

Take full control of your camera settings and capture stunning images with confidence. This Camera Settings Workshop will teach you the essential foundations of photography, including the Exposure Triangle, Metering, Histogram, Depth of Field, and Motion Control with Shutter Speed.

This immersive workshop is designed for photographers of all levels who want to move beyond auto mode and learn how to make intentional, creative choices with their camera.

What You’ll Learn

The Exposure Triangle – Understand how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to create a well-exposed image. Learn to balance these settings for different lighting conditions and creative effects.
Metering Modes – Learn how your camera reads light and how to choose the right metering mode (spot, center-weighted, or evaluative) to get the perfect exposure in various scenarios.
The Histogram – Decode the histogram to analyze exposure accuracy and avoid underexposed or overexposed images.
Depth of Field (DoF) – Control background blur and sharpness using aperture settings to achieve beautiful portraits or detailed landscapes.
Controlling Motion with Shutter Speed – Freeze fast action or create artistic motion blur by mastering shutter speed techniques.

Workshop Format

Part 1: Lecture & Studio Practice (1:00 – 4:00 PM)
This session begins with a structured, interactive lecture covering essential camera settings. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in a controlled studio environment. Through guided exercises, you will experiment with different settings and see their impact in real time.

Part 2: In-the-Field Exercises (4:00 – 5:30 PM)
After the studio session, we will take our skills into a real-world setting with dynamic shooting scenarios. Participants will apply their knowledge through guided exercises designed to reinforce key concepts. Personalized feedback and tips will be provided to help refine techniques.

Bonus Challenge: Win a Variable Neutral Density Filter!

At the end of the workshop, participants will submit their best images from the exercises. The highest-scoring photographer—based on creativity, technical execution, and correct application of camera settings—will win a Variable ND Filter to enhance their photography.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is perfect for beginners ready to take control of their camera, as well as intermediate photographers looking to refine their skills and deepen their understanding of manual settings.
