I the fall of 2013 I ran a seven-week photography course for novice and intermediate – level photographers. We had an in-class session once a week (Wednesday evenings) and went outside as a group one Sunday afternoon to practice what we had learned in the classroom.
We covered the following topics in the class: basic concepts of digital photography, fundamentals of exposure and camera controls, use of lenses, composition, light in the landscape (with a demonstration of flash use), colour theory and use of filters, image processing and archiving. I set up several assignments and we reviewed the submitted images in the class. Here are a few images created by the photo course participants.
I will be offering a similar digital photography course from April 9 – May 21, 2014. If you are interested in attending, please register early as this course filled up quickly and we could not accommodate everyone who wanted to take part.
