Are you ready to go beyond merely taking pictures and start making photographs? This class is for anyone who wants to improve their photographic skills using film, digital, SLR or point and shoot cameras. Learn to improve composition, what is resolution and why is it important, how do you use YOUR camera, how to get photos onto your computer, as well as flash, aperture settings, shutter speed, white balance, and much more. Learn basic camera skills and functions that apply to both digital and film cameras. This class is intended for students who already have a camera (film or digital, SLR or point-and-shoot) with owners/feature manual. There will be at least one out-of-class shooting assignment and in-class critique.
