Course Description
This Basic Photography Workshop covers the concepts of using a digital (DSLR – Digital Single Lens Reflex) or mirrorless camera, changing lenses, choosing camera settings to obtain the correct exposure, and the aesthetic principles related to focus, light, color and composition and developing a photographic vision. The course addresses digital file formats, storage and handling of images and introduces the student to post-processing and enhancement of images. Each class will include a practice session and an assignment for the next class. The final session will include an evaluation and critique of images captured by each of the participants.
Students entering the course must have a digital (DSLR) or mirrorless camera with the ability to change exposure settings (aperture, ISO and shutter speed) and preferably a camera with interchangeable lenses. Students should also bring the instruction manual for their camera.
