Digital Photography and Imaging

Advanced Digital Photography Capture and Imaging is a class designed for students who have an understanding of digital photography (capture and imaging) but wish to become more proficient in the technical aspects of the digital photography process  and image  output. This will be a hands-on class where the students learn advanced camera techniques in class and go out in the field to apply them. After downloading their images, they will learn advanced techniques to optimize as well as completely manipulate images. They will attain a high level of proficiency in the understanding of all of the specific camera functions and their predicted effects on the final image capture. They will use Adobe Photoshop to explore their creative drives and become more proficient in the subtler ways that Photoshop (CS6) can enhance their images. The class will take frequent off-campus trips to explore photographic opportunities in: Low light photography, action photography, portraiture, nature/wildlife photography, still life photography, Flash/incandescent photography, high speed flash photography, journalism photography, architecture/interior photography and finally macro photography. At the conclusion of the class, each student will produce an image for their portfolio in five of the content areas mastered during the class.
