A description of the class follows, as well as information about registration and class dates:
The Get Off the Green Square online class is geared toward beginner photographers who have a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or a digital point and shoot that has creative modes (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, etc.) You must have a computer, internet access, and a valid email address to participate.

How do you know if this class is for you? Easy! Do you shoot all your pictures on the "green square," otherwise known as the automatic mode? Do you wish your pictures looked better? Do you look at other people's pictures and wonder why they are so attractive to your eye and your pictures are blah? Do you take okay pictures, but want to improve your style? Are you a mom, dad, or a grandparent that would like to take better pictures of your kids? Are you a blogger who wants to improve the pictures you post on the blog? Then this class is for you!
Get Off the Green Square is a 6 week class that addresses the common questions below:
1. What are some rules for composing my pictures to make them more appealing?
2. What in the world is aperture and how do I use it to take better pictures?
3. What is shutter speed and why does it matter to me?
4. What is ISO and how is it important to my pictures?
5. How do I make my sports photos more attractive?
6. How do I take better portraits?
7. How do I use light types and direction to make creative photos?
8. What are some quality online resources to help me take better pictures?
And any other questions you may have about photography!

This class is highly personalized with weekly interaction with the me, the instructor, and other classmates. You will have the opportunity to email me to ask any addition questions you may have about the information in the class. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a private forum where you can add photos, discuss issues, ask for help, and interact with other students in the class.

How does the class work? Each week there will be a lesson posted on the Class Blog. The lessons are in multimedia format including example photos, hyperlinks, and videos. Throughout the lessons there are suggestions for practice, and many opportunities to interact with other students on the Forum. At the end of each week, there is an assignment given that is due to me, the instructor, by the due date. I will then privately evaluate and critique your work through email.
