Weekly materials for this 5 week digital photography seminar will be posted on the blog and please feel free to contact the instructor, Erin Gleeson, at erin@eringleeson.com.
We will start out with how to use the basic functions of your own digital cameras. Please bring your camera weekly along with a memory card and a portable hard drive if possible. We will also look at image downloading and editing in Photoshop.
Assignments given in this class are optional but encouraged- no grades are assessed. The main goal is for you to take better pictures! And be more in control of your camera and the light around you. The goal will be to present a series of approx 10 printed images for the last week's session to share with the group and critique.
