Participants will learn the basics of digital photography, including composition, exposure, camera functions, loading and resizing images with Photoshop, iPhoto, the differences between different types of file formats, what's new in digital imaging, and basic printing on an Epson inkjet printer. Lectures, hands-on exercises, and question/answer sessions will help to build your photographic confidence and technique!
