With its high-megapixel sensor and attractive pricing, the Canon Digital Rebel SLR digital camera and its successors (the Rebel XT, the XTi, XSi and the new T1i) have become very popular items among digital photographers. This Safari will help Digital Rebel users put their cameras through the paces of ISO settings, flash settings, variable white balance settings, file compression, aperture and shutter priorities, focus settings, custom settings, menu navigation tricks, exposure tricks, use of the histogram, video techniques, and menu shortcuts inside and outside of the new National Museum of the American Indian.

Special exhibits at the museum pose unique challenges for the digital photographer, especially the mix of daylight and tungsten light. The eight-story high atrium is a great place to practice wide-angle photography, and the carvings and statues provide challenges for your telephoto lens. Digital camera specialist Melanie Otto provides hands-on training for this exciting new piece of equipment. This Safari will help users of ALL the Rebel models, Melanie will explain the different features of each model.

Here is a comment made by clients who attended a recent workshop taught by Melanie Otto:

“I am writing to commend Melanie Otto for conducting a very well-structured and informative class. I took this class several years ago and signed up again as a refresher and because I had upgraded my camera by several models. I learned just as much, if not more, the second time around. Melanie paced the class well, covered all the controls and features on the camera and demonstrated how we could use them to improve our photography skills. I would strongly recommend this class to any beginning or intermediate amateur photographer who owns a Canon Rebel.”—Peter Sperry, Woodbridge VA
