The class will revolve around taking our photography to the next level. How do we become a “better” photographer? What kinds of gear will help our imagery? Students will also begin to explore how composition affects the viewer. In addition, there will be hands on section that each student will have the opportunity to use their camera.

The second part of the class will focus on The Digital Darkroom. What are the difference between jpg and raw files? What are the benefits of shooting raw files? And how do we process raw files. Adobe Elements will be briefly talked about as well as Adobe Lightroom.

In addition we will look at two tools for when we take quick shots with our phone; that is Snapseed and The Photographer’s Ephemeris.
