Photography (Continuing Education)
Short Term
PHO-3001A Photo Outings
This course takes the learning outside - the best place to develop your photography skills. A basic understanding of photography is recommended but not necessary. This course concentrates on developing your "photographic eye" to take better pictures. Every other class meeting is held at a different location. Learn to take better nature, portrait, action, close-up, architecture, and travel shots on location. After every location shoot, the photos taken are reviewed to help you improve your ability and understanding of good photography.

PHO-3001B Beyond the Basics Photography
Now that you have the Basics down, learn more advanced controls to the camera. Many pictures that you take that turn out bad are often due to not understanding all the camera controls or even knowing that it is possible to adjust the camera to get what you really want. We will learn more about metering, improving the color in our images, lighting, shooting for different environments and so much more. If you really want to start making your camera do what you want, this class is for you! (Note: It is highly advisable to take the Basics class first or at least discuss options with instructor.)
