Classes or a tutor? - 01-09-2008, 08:00 AM


I am from Sn Marcos and I just purchased a Nikon D80. Now I need to learn how to use it. I am used to the point and shoot cameras. I need a class close to San Marcos or just someone close to the area that wouldn't mind teaching me about aperture and shutter speed, etc... I have gone through the manual and made notes, but I am in need of someone to "show" me what I am doing? Any takers? Anyone know of classes in this area that would help me.

Get this book. The author is a very good teacher of "The Exposure Triangle" (aperture, shutter speed, ISO).

Contact the photography department at the university. There should be students there who can provide you with instruction.

Here's an email address for Sara Cain at the Photo Department: sc1265@txstate.edu
