LLART 80 - Beginning Photography: Artistic Principles

Using either a traditional film or a SLR digital camera, learn the basics of color photography (B&W and color) from camera functions to artistic principles, lighting, and composition. What types of cameras, films, lenses, filters, and accessories are needed to make a good photograph? Understand the importance of lighting. Please expect to share your images for constructive class critique; digital photographers will be asked to bring prints of their work. Please bring your camera and manual to the first class.
