First Photography Lecture
Yesterday marks the first ever formal photography lecture that I conducted! Teaching a while ago made me realize just how much I’ve missed the classroom setup. You see, I like teaching — especially what I like. In other words, I like teaching what I like. Teaching allows me to learn more than what I know. There’s always a new question out there that I haven’t heard or got an answer to. Whenever I teach, I don’t see myself only as a teacher, but as another student in the room too.
For my pedagogical sharing today, I had three participants and I’m poised to get more next week! I wonder if I should give Cip, Cheng and Remar a certificate…
While I’m no Pro, I’m fairly confident that I’ve covered the basics of photography. The course makes no biased lectures between SLRs and Compact Cameras nor film and digital — after all, it’s a class about photography designed for:
- people who want to get introduced to the basic concepts of photography. For those who just want to know.
- people who just bought a camera like Cip and Pat who each got a D40 last weekend. The course introduced how they can start using their babies.
- people eying a camera in the future like Remar who’s contemplating on buying a Ca– Nikon. The course will help him in determine the camera and accessories he will need to buy.
Already, my mind is full of ideas how I can communicate my next lessons. Next target: a Photography workshop before September ends.
