休士頓華人攝影學會舉辦的攝影進修班，受到了廣大攝影愛好者的歡迎。此次將邀請休士頓華人資深攝影家教授相關課程。攝影初级進修班，著重於基礎知識，老師們在攝影理論與攝影實踐上有獨特的認識，知識全面，講解深入淺出，力求通俗易懂，既重視基礎理論，又緊密結合拍攝實踐。授課形式生動活潑，穿插優秀攝影作品欣賞，點評。同時還將與戶外攝影創作，拍攝實踐等活動相結合。
隨著數碼相機的普及，現在幾乎每個家庭都會有一兩部數碼相機，家庭聚會、旅遊踏青、朋友探訪以及一些有紀念意義的活動等都想拍攝一些照片留念。但很多朋友總覺得自己拍出的照片不盡人意，不是曝光不准，就是對焦不實，使很多珍貴的場面留下了遺憾。數碼攝影初级進修班著重對攝影有一定興趣的朋友進行， 攝影知識與拍攝技巧方面的培訓，側重於數碼相機的操作，包括如何構圖，用光，對焦，怎樣控制景深等等，參加完這些課程後，相信將會提升大家的攝影技術與攝影作品的欣賞。
