Introduction to Digital Photography Workflow
Course Description:
Learn how to use your digital camera at home, at work, or traveling. Learn how to optimize your photos to achieve their full potential. This class covers the basics of using a digital camera and how to set up a digital workflow that works for you as a digital photography amateur, whether you have a point-and-shoot or an SLR.
The first half of the class, we’ll explore various digital camera capabilities, including:
- white balance
- exposure compensation
- metering
- focus settings
- size and quality settings
- basics of lighting and composition
The second half of the class, we will discuss what to do with the photos that you have taken. Bring your camera, cables, memory cards, laptop and everything that came with the camera. We will cover:
- camera/computer connections
- file organization
- archiving your pictures
- optimizing your pictures
- making prints
- sharing
This class will be intimate and non-competitive, and will involve a mixture of lecture and hands-on photography. It's a great class for beginners, hobbyists, and intermediate photographers who want to make better use of their cameras.
