The world of digital photography is cutting-edge but is based on principles as old as the very first cameras themselves. This introductory class will help you navigate through the technological confusion and teach you how to take better pictures, download and organize them in your computer and display your work with pride. This class emphasizes total work flow, from creative ideas and composition, all the way through software to final output. Class time is divided between lecture, demonstration, and critique, with the bulk of the shooting done outside of class. Students should bring a digital camera with them to class (a DSLR camera is recommended but not essential).
