INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Course Description:
5 Weeks • 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. • Burnt Hills - Ballston Lake High School
This is a hands-on beginner’s course about the technical basics of digital photography: how to create, edit, and archive digital photographic files. No experience with your camera necessary! Topics to be covered include: how to use your camera and its settings, exposure modes, focus targets (depth of field), lighting and shutter speeds, horizontal and vertical competition, memory cards, “Raw vs. JPEG”, “JPEG vs. Tiff”, optical vs. digital zoom, “take two steps forward”, macro photography, to “flash” or not to “flash”, printers vs. pay services, archiving files, and the history of photography. Please note, this list is not exhaustive. The class will work with Picasa (freeware) and Adobe Photoshop (time permitting). Students should bring their digital camera and USB connection cords to each class.
