PHOTOGRAPHY 20

Prerequisite:
Basic knowledge of computer use.

 

 

Instructor - Mr. R. Polan

Description: This introductory course in digital photography will look at the basic camera controls and how to take pictures that create interest. You will require a photo editing software that allows you to save and edit in layers. Examples of this type of software are Photoshop, which you would have to purchase, or GIMP, which is a freeware program. The theme of the course is how to make the usual unusual, and to create a "wow" factor within photographs. Our goal is to move from taking amateur looking snap shots to more professional looking compositions. Students will share and comment on each other's photographs weekly, supported by composition lessons and discussions. Students will also build a portfolio which will comprise a significant portion of the course work and final evaluation.

Hardware/Software Requirements:

Gimp - latest version (free download)

One of the following computer Systems:

  • Windows based PC - 2000, XP, Vista or 7
  • Mac OS X - Tiger, Leopard, or Snow Leopard

A digital Camera

  • Point and Shoot or SLR
  • The ability for manual settings is preferred.
