Don’t Settle, Love the Results DSLR Camera (Ages: 14 to Adult) Do you have a DSLR camera that has more modes and menus than you can figure out?

A DSLR is required for this class as well as assignments to complete between classes.

Photo Composition (Ages: 14 to Adult) Would you like to improve the look of your photos? Do you have trouble deciding how to frame your images to create pleasing compositions?

Hi, Vincent! I’m in your Monday “Don’t Settle” class, but today, the Dorothy Hart center was closed. I’m wondering if I missed the class altogether, or if we simply weren’t meeting today because of the holiday. Would you please let me know?
thanks! Kay Holladay
Hi Kay,
I called and left a message yesterday, sorry you didn’t get it. I found out after class last week that the Hart Center would be closed today so I called everyone yesterday. We will have class a the usual time next week. Sorry for the wasted trip to class. I look forward to seeing you next week.
All the best, Vincent
no worries! I was out of town, and didn’t check messages before I left the house!! See you Monday!
I missed this class…..will you have other classes?
Yes, there are other classes coming up for next year. I haven’t posted those classes yet but I hope to have them up soon.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to it.
I’ve had a SONY NEX-3 for over a year now and have no idea how to use it. I decided to take a class and came across yours when I Googled Fredericksburg Photography Class. I don’t see any classes for 2013 though. Will you be having any?
Yes, classes are being offered. The Fredericksburg Parks & Rec. Dept. is currently installing new software for classes so they are not viewable online. The are listed in the catalog of classes and here on my site.
My husband and daughter want to attend the class starting in April. We only have one camera. Can they share the camera for the class? Thank you.
Yes, they can both use the same camera for class. I look forward to seeing them in April.
I would like to attend one of your classes. would you please direct me to which one should I be taking. I love taking in doors and out doors. BTW, I am a beginner. Thanks.
What kind of camera do you have and what would you like to learn from a class?
Hi! I was wondering if you have any classes that teach manual mode and lighting. Thanks!
Yes, the DSLR class teaches working in Manual Mode. I do have lighting classes and most of them are listed through the Meetup.com/CreatePhotographics group. I am currently planning classes for the next few months.
I tried signing up for the April/May DSLR class, but it is apparently filled. Is that correct? Will there be another scheduled soon? Any info would be great. Thank you!
Hi Margaret, As far as I know the class is currently full. I will be setting up a summer schedule soon. I hope to have it ready in a week or two. All the best.
I am really intrigued by your “Don’t Settle” class, but can’t attend the April/May session. Will you be offering the class anywhere over the summer? I was disappointed that I didn’t see the course in the Fredericksburg Parks & Rec summer catalog and was hoping you might be offering it through another venue. Thanks!
Hi Melissa,
I will be posting new classes for the summer very soon.
I am very interested in digital SLR classes similar to the ones you did in April and May. When do you plan to offer this class again? Jim
Hi Jim, Yes I will be offering the DSLR class again. I’m currently looking at my summer schedule for dates but there will definitely be a class in the fall. All the best, Vincent
I am interested in summer classes too. Looking forward to your post. Thank you
