Taught by Robert Elvin and Laura Miller
Tuesday evenings at Somarts
Oct 14- Nov 18, 7:00-9:30pm
This 6 week class is an intensive hands-on beginning photography class using either digital or film SLR cameras. [We urge interested point-and-shoot camera owners to be experienced with their camera settings, or to have previously taken our Getting Acquainted With Your Digital Camera course before enrolling for this one]
We will explore basic photographic concepts, such as exposure, aperture, shutter speed, metering, composition, depth of field, flash, aperture and shutter settings, and film speed/ISO. There will be joint sessions for both digital and film camera users, where basic concepts are discussed and resulting images will be shared and compared. Additional digital resources, methods and photographers will be explored and discussed via emails between class meetings.
Fiilm photographers will also learn wet darkroom printing, while digital photographers will work in small groups with the instructor to explore white balance, histograms, computer corrections, as well as various printing/output options. The class includes additional, optional darkroom access and at least one field trip.
Students will also have additional darkroom access between classes at no cost.
