Today’s cameras are packed with great features and the optics have never been better. The issue is that there are so many features that they can be challenging and even intimidating to use. The result is many people leave their cameras in auto or program mode and don’t get the full benefit of their cameras. During the field trip, Don will discuss the various camera settings, where it makes sense to use them, and some other creative things that you can do with your camera. We will be visiting Minnehaha Falls which will provide some amazing subject matter.

• The exposure triangle.
• The advantages of switching from program mode to aperture or shutter priority mode.
