Question Title

	Strongly Disagree	Disagree	Neither agree or disagree	Agree	Strongly Agree
The most common feedback NHCC gets is that members want more very basic camera teaching. To this end, NHCC has been discussing adding 7 short teaching sessions to the season. These lessons would take place before each of the 7 programs. On program night we would have 7:30-7:45 our regular announcements and such, then 7:45-8:00 a short lesson, presentation, demonstration of ISO, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, composition, travel photography, tripods, flash, etc. This would address the needs of new photographers, and even experienced members could learn something and/or present the topics. I would be in favor of this new addition of photography basics to the program night.	The most common feedback NHCC gets is that members want more very basic camera teaching.
