"The course not only conveys the basics of digital photography, but also specific tips on optimal camera settings and for post -processing photos with apps," explains the lecturer. The learning content includes topics such as exposure, perspective and important technical attitudes. Particular attention is paid to the practical implementation of the learned techniques in Wiesdorf and the surrounding area.

In addition to operating your own smartphone, the course will explain the most important functions and settings. The participants should bring their device with a full battery, a charger as well as an optional tripod and a power bank. "The optimal camera settings vary depending on the situation. While the fully automatic system offers the easiest option, says Gabriele Dietrich, manual settings can enable more control and creative freedom," says the lecturer.

understand the technology

In order to better understand the technical foundations, the VHS Leverkusen emphasizes the importance of camera settings. In automatic mode, which is often referred to as "photo" for smartphones, the camera makes many settings itself. This includes exposure, aperture and ISO, which enables easy operation for beginners. However, this attitude cannot influence the composition of the image. Manual photography can be required, especially in difficult lighting conditions, to achieve the best results, especially with a good understanding of exposure and white balance.

The meaning of calm and stability is also emphasized to avoid blurring. The correct handling of the trigger and, if necessary, the support of the camera during the recording are essential to increase image quality.

Overall, the course is a great opportunity for all those who are interested in photography and want to deepen their knowledge of digital image processing.
