Photography Basics: Understanding Your Camera Settings

Join The Queer 26 and our instructor, Jay Gash, for a workshop on camera settings where you'll learn how to take control of your camera to create stunning photographs.

In this workshop, we'll cover the fundamentals of camera settings, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and more. We'll also discuss different shooting modes and how to choose the right one for your situation. You'll leave with a better understanding of your camera and how to use it to capture beautiful images.

This workshop is perfect for beginners who want to improve their photography skills or experienced photographers who want to brush up on their camera settings. Bring your camera and get ready to learn!

Please note that this workshop is for individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. All participants are expected to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment for all attendees.

Space is limited, so be sure to register soon to secure your spot in this exciting and empowering workshop! We can't wait to see what you'll create and the connections you'll make.
