Expanding Visions 2019: À La Mode
The theme running through this year’s Expanding Visions class is À La Mode. But, this
does not refer to apple pie with ice cream. It refers to various camera modes—the ones
you probably don’t use, nor even know they exist.
This class is a bit different from your ”usual” photography classes. It will make you
think. It will make you look at your images, and photography in general, in a whole
new way. In short, it will ”expand your vision.”
To whet your appetite, here are the titles of the three assignments:
Expose Yourself;
Drive By Shooting; and
Meter Me in St. Louis.
Please join us on Monday evening, January 28th. You’ll be glad you did!

Assignment Synopsis — For tonight’s assignment, Expose Yourself, we
will learn about and practice using the myriad of exposure modes built
into your digital camera, and when to use which ones.
Equipment — The basic equipment listed earlier is all you will need. Any focal length lenses will
work for this assignment—but zoom lenses offer greater opportunities without having to change
lenses in less-than-perfect conditions. Tripods and remote shutter releases are okay for this assignment—
but be mindful of the crowds. Don’t set up your tripod in an intersection, in the roadway, in
the middle of the sidewalk, etc.
Since this is the first trip, and it is early February, be sure to dress for the weather. In addition, you
may find yourself bending down, kneeling, whatever, so you can capture the tiniest, most interesting
details. Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes. Also consider wearing clothes that would not be
ruined if you sat, knelt, or laid down on the ground.
