Digital Photography Two
Now that you have a basic understanding of what photography is all about, it is time to take the next step.
We will start with a quick review of the beginning photography course, using it as a foundation for this course, then move on to some new and exciting topics. For example . . . You will learn the many advantages of shooting “RAW” images, as opposed to the more standard “JPG” ones. You will have a role in setting up a three-point lighting scene using professional photographic tungsten lights.
Also, creative methods for hand-holding a small flash will be demonstrated. More adventurous composing ideas will be discussed. The critical concept of determining the hyperfocal distance for more precise focusing will be explained. And you will discover the wonderful world of digital imaging, using both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Elements, where images can be fixed-up, enhanced, or completely altered.
There will be time available in class for taking pictures and looking at each other’s images. Students should bring their digital camera (with instruction booklet) to class, along with photos they have taken, saved as JPGs on a flash drive.
Prerequisite: “Digital Photography One” (or its equivalent) or consent from the instructor.
