Introduction to Photography

This curriculum is designed for beginning photographers who are interested in developing basic skills in photography using the 35mm SLR digital camera.  The sessions are a mix of classroom instruction and field exercises.  The subject material includes lectures on aperture, shutter speed, exposure and other camera controls.  


The goal of this class is to give the students a strong working knowledge of basic photography principles and camera controls.  Students will do exercises designed to help them use these new skills to have creative control. 


Students will need a digital SLR camera with the instruction manual and accessories (lens, batteries, memory cards), and tripod.  A digital point and shoot can be used if it offers manual control but some functions available on a digital SLR may not available on such a camera.
