Digital Photography

Digital Photography:

This is a comprehensive 8 week course on cameras and their features.  What is digital photography? How does it differ from film? What do I need to know? Learn the interface between your camera and your home PC; creating and storing files; printing; editing.  It will assume that you are either contemplating the purchase of a digital camera, or have recently purchased one and want to know what the digital aspect means and what to expect from the software which accompanies it.  You will probably feel comfortable with this course having completed at least Word Processing Level 1, however it also fits well with understanding the Basics of Scanning, Desktop Publishing, Managing Files and Folders, or our extensive Photo Editing courses (q.v.).  We have practical exercises each time, firstly in still photography - understanding your own camera; focus, balance, composition, flash, lighting, colour, and downloading into your computer for storing the images, file types, sizes, and saving.  Then we make and save slide shows and albums.  We then take you through the movie function now found within most digital ‘still’ cameras and how to make up a short DVD movie by editing and rendering using practical exercises in various programs to teach the principles.  You will receive close tuition, an informative DVD, and notes for later reference.
