Digital photography class slated in November

MONROE – Get ready for the holidays! Whether Santa is bringing a new camera or you just want to get more out of the one you have, a basic photography workshop scheduled for November might be just what you need.

The class will be taught by award-winning photographer Rick Crider on the Old Charlotte Highway Campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Nov. 2-28. There will not be a class on Nov. 23, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Students should bring a digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera to the class, which will be taught in Building A, Room 102. The class will be technical in nature, as opposed to creative and/or artistic. It is designed primarily for those delving into the use of a digital SLR for the first time, getting them past using the camera in automatic, or program, mode, and discovering just how versatile their camera can be once the basic functions are understood.

Crider, a longtime photographer for The Enquirer-Journal in Monroe, has won numerous state and regional awards over the years. He has also spent many years as a freelance media and commercial photographer.
