Taking quality photos during covert operations can be difficult. Students who attend Surveillance Photography will learn how to produce clear, useful photos for investigative work.
This four-day course is designed for any investigator who takes surveillance photos and includes field work and two night exercises. Students will learn proper control of focus modes, shutter speed, camera stabilization methods, and other camera settings in stationary and moving operations. Instructors will use lecture, demonstration, and practical exercises. Photography experience is helpful but not necessary; instructors will review the minimum fundamentals of camera operation on the first day of class.
Equipment Required: Participants should bring a digital single-lens reflex camera with telephoto lens, camera battery charger, and memory cards. They should wear appropriate clothing for field work. Some OPOTA equipment is available for students who are unable to bring their own.
NOTE: The second and third days of the course will run from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. to provide for low-light exercises.
