Learn the basics of photography: composition rules, color balance, lens choices and how ISO, exposure control, shutter speed, f-stops, depth of field and lighting can all be precisely adjusted to create the images you want. Learn the "rules" of good photography and why those rules exist. This class is about making images with your camera. Students will have shooting assignments and reviews and gain a lot of information in a very short time. This class is not an explanation of camera automatic modes and menus; you will use Manual Mode in this class. Upon completion, students will be prepared to advance to Photography II.
Students in the Photography II course will utilize the information from the Photograph I course in learning more about the different genres of photography. In this course there will be five, three-hour secessions of hands-on training in the photography genres such as: Nature Photography, People Photography, Manmade Photography and Abstract Photography.
