Immerse yourself in this online course to confidently learn digital photography. This course is ideal for students who are new to photography, want to learn manual operations of the camera, or are simply seeking to expand their photographic practice. During a variety of fun photographic sessions you will gain confidence and knowledge of the digital camera. Activities and photo assignments will give you the “depth-of-field- ability” to create the desired dramatic effects in your photos. Together we will master priority modes, manual mode, depth of field, composition, color balance, and more! Photographic assignments during the course will keep your learning fresh and allow you to implement and expand upon your practice outside of class hours.

All kinds of digital cameras are welcome: compact point-and-shoot, the new mirrorless cameras, and SLR
(Single Lens Reflex) cameras. Tripods are not required, but welcomed.
