LLART 115 - Introduction to Digital Photography

Digital photography is rapidly closing the quality gap on traditional-film photography. Find out what mega-pixel counts, white balance, shutter speed, lens opening, digital zoom, and other digital camera terms mean and how to use them to your advantage. We'll also cover traditional photographic imaging skills such as use of shutter speeds and lens openings, composition, and portraiture, so you can spend more time making great images and less time fixing them in your computer. We invite all digital photographers, but you will get the most out of class if your camera features manual as well as automatic controls. Please bring photographs or memory cards with images you like and dislike to the first class. Don't own a digital camera? This class is a must to help you decide which camera is for you.
