Course Description
This course is for students new to photography and digital technology. Participants will learn the basics of digital photography, including composition, color, exposure, camera functions, digital terms, loading images onto a Mac computer, the basics of Adobe Bridge, and Photoshop CS3 (including Camera Raw). If time permits, basic printing on an inkjet printer will also be covered. Lectures and hands-on learning will help to build your photographic confidence and technique!

Students need to bring a jump/flash drive and digital camera (point and shoot or digital SLR) and its manual. No previous experience in digital photography necessary, but working knowledge of computers is strongly recommended, particularly Macs.
