Capture Summer Through the Lens: Photography Level 1 for Beginners


Adult Classes and Activities / Create -
Summer 2026

Summer is the perfect season to slow down, explore, and see the world with fresh eyes. In this beginner-friendly photography class, you’ll learn how to turn everyday moments, travels, and outdoor adventures into compelling images that tell a story.

Over five weeks, you’ll build a strong foundation in photography while gaining confidence using your camera. We’ll explore essential skills such as the rules of composition, the exposure triangle, metering, and semi-automatic and manual shooting modes. You’ll learn how to take control of your camera and how certain choices create more powerful photographs.

Expect inspiration, hands-on learning, and plenty of opportunities to practice—perfect for anyone ready to make the most of summer light, color, and scenery.

Please bring:
  • Your DSLR camera (the "D" in DSLR stands for digital…) with a fully charged battery (no point & shoot cameras)
  • Your camera's manual
  • Pen and notebook

Whether you’re photographing nature, family gatherings, or summer travels, this class will help you capture images you’re proud to share.
