CRAFTS & SKILLS<br />
INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
Sam Liggero, Instructor<br />
Designed for the amateur photographer, this course<br />
will help you develop a basic understanding of digital<br />
cameras and accessories, as well as provide many<br />
practical tips on how to get good results from your<br />
camera under most shooting conditions. Students<br />
should bring their camera (compact or single lens<br />
reflex) and camera manual to class. Topics to be<br />
covered include how digital cameras work, memory<br />
cards, features and benefits of many currently<br />
available digital cameras, use of manual and automatic<br />
modes, lighting and composition, and how to organize,<br />
access and back up images in a computer. We will<br />
also review some common mistakes made by amateur<br />
digital photographers and how to avoid them. Printing<br />
and scanning options will be briefly reviewed and<br />
demonstrated. Also, basic editing will be discussed<br />
and demonstrated. Reference materials, including<br />
all lecture slides from class, will be available online.<br />
Familiarity with Windows or Macintosh operating<br />
systems, while not required, but will be helpful to the<br />
student. Limited to 14.<br />
