As the result of another thread I found out that I can take classes at the nearby University for $12.50 per semester hour. That is not a typo - twelve dollars and fifty cents. That's if I audit the classes, which is what I'd do. If I wanted credit the rate is 50% of the normal tuition. Still not bad, but I'm not after a degree.
So there's at least one good thing about being over 65. Now the question is do I want to commit to being at a certain place at a certain time for a semester at a time? I'm mulling that over.
The main classes I'm interested in are photography classes. While I "get" the mechanics of the camera, lenses, apertures and shutter speeds, and working with Photoshop and Lightroom, I have a harder time with composition, color contrast/conflicts, and the other more "artsy" aspects of photography. And I even already own the camera they recommend students start out with, A Canon AE-1 that I bought in 1979. First semester students shoot in B&W.
Anyone else taking classes? What was/is your experience like?
