Introduction to analogue photography

How do you adjust the sensitivity? What do you should know concerning choosing aperture and shutter speed? All these questions will be covered in this workshop.
Afterwards you will practice the things learned while photographing yourself – either outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. In addition, you will get to know a little bit of the history of photography. If you wish you also get some advice concerning different camera models.
You can take this course in addition to the workshop for beginners in the photography laboratory.
