BELOIT — The Beloit Art Center has offerings for everyone interested in photography classes for the fall. 

For the beginner, the art center will be offering an Introduction to Digital Photography Class. This course is for those with any type of digital camera that want to get out of Auto Mode and start unleashing the creative potential of their camera. 

Users will learn how to utilize shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to control exposure and explore how aperture and shutter speed can be used creatively. Students will learn to shoot successfully in program, aperture, shutter, and manual modes. They will also learn how the camera meters the light in a scene and the options the camera gives to achieve the best focus. The class will meet for four weeks at 5:30 p.m. starting September 15. Bring a camera and camera manual. Introduction to Digital Photography will be taught by Jo Christofferson, a New York Institute of Photography graduate, and a retired Blackhawk Technical College Instructor. The cost is $80.

For photography enthusiasts of all skill levels, the art center is offering a Photography Club. This group is for anyone interested in connecting with fellow photography enthusiasts, sharing their work, learning and exploring new photographic techniques, and collaborating on group photographic projects. The group will meet the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. Join Sept. 8 at the Beloit Art Center to get started. Bring a camera. The cost is $85.00 a year or drop in any time for $10.00.
