Introduction to Digital Photography

Tuesdays | 7-9 pm | $120

INSTRUCTOR: KONRAD EEK

In this fun and informative 8 week course, students will learn about digital photography from camera operation to the final print. We will discuss workflow techniques including downloading images to your computer, labeling and sorting images, and archiving strategies. We will cover basic post production skills such as red eye reduction, cropping, color balance, and contrast control using Photoshop Elements. There will also be slide presentations and assignments to help develop compositional skills.

Students will need to have a digital camera, a laptop computer, a little imagination, and an hour or two to work outside of class time each week.
