From Auto to Manual: A Guide to Mirrorless Photography with TONY LOPEZ
This class is designed for beginners who own a mirrorless camera—or smartphone photographers who are ready to take the next step and discover the creative possibilities of a dedicated camera.
This classroom-based introduction takes the mystery out of modern mirrorless cameras and teaches you what happens beyond Auto mode. You’ll learn how cameras and lenses work and explore the fundamentals that give photographers creative control, including the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO), metering, exposure compensation, shooting modes, autofocus, white balance, histograms, and RAW vs. JPEG. We’ll also cover essential lens concepts, including focal length, prime vs. zoom lenses, maximum aperture, and full-frame vs. crop-sensor lenses.
No prior photography experience is required, and you don’t need to already own a mirrorless camera. If you’ve been taking photos with your phone and are considering stepping up to a mirrorless camera—or you already own one and want to finally understand what all those settings do—this course is for you.
Participants are welcome to bring their mirrorless cameras; however, because menu systems and controls vary widely among camera brands and models, the course will focus on universal photography concepts rather than step-by-step instructions for making adjustments on individual cameras.
Step inside the historic cottage at Fort Tryon Park during Open House New York for a rare opportunity to explore one of the park’s original structures. Built as the gatehouse for the early 20th-century Billings Estate, the cottage now serves as the offices of NYC Parks and the Fort Tryon Park Conservancy. Visitors can learn about the cottage’s history, architecture, and connection to the Billings Estate while exploring this unique piece of Fort Tryon Park’s past.
Ramble through three riverfront parks and across one big bridge at this free cross-river walking adventure and scavenger hunt. Ramblers can pick up a free paper map with walking directions and points of interest to discover at any of three staffed hubs:
* The Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington Park
* The N.J. entrance to the G.W.B. North Walk and the Palisades Interstate Park Long Path
* The Cottage at Fort Tryon Park
* Maps and information will also be available at Break Away Cafe, located at 71 Cabrini Boulevard, which is offering special discounts to event participants.
Ramblers can begin their adventure in any park, choose to explore one park or all three, and will use their paper map to check off what they discover. Along the route, Ramblers can collect a different small keepsake and a unique rubber stamp at each park hub, marking their passage.
The Riverfront Ramble will include a mix of scenic, historic and natural highlights along the Hudson River. Points of interest include Fort Washington Park’s pollinator meadows and nature-inspired playspaces; Palisades Interstate Park’s Long Path, a premier long-distance trail that starts in northern Manhattan, crosses the George Washington Bridge, and travels north through New Jersey and New York to the Adirondacks, offering dramatic riverfront overlooks along the way; and Fort Tryon Park’s Heather Garden, the largest public garden with unrestricted access in New York.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration via Eventbrite is encouraged. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water; the full Ramble covers more than 10 miles, crosses the George Washington Bridge, and includes some significant hills and elevation changes. There is no requirement to complete the entire route in one day: Ramblers are welcome to explore one, two or all three parks and return another day to continue their adventure.
Riverfront Ramble is brought to you by Palisades Parks Conservancy, Riverside Park Conservancy and Fort Tryon Park Conservancy.
