This class is designed for the person who would like to take digital
photographs, but has no idea how to manage the camera, let alone get pictures
out of the camera and onto a computer. We will examine the camera settings and
menu choices in the first session. Then we will take a series of photographs of
a still life using different lighting scenarios and modes. We will upload those
photos using your camera’s cable, or a card reader your instructor will provide.
A camera is not necessary to take this class; you may borrow one from the
instructor if you do not have a camera, but if you do, bring the cable and the
instruction manual. Digital photo editing will be introduced using Photoshop
Elements 5 which are installed on the Centers’ computers. We will examine what
makes a “good” photograph and how to think like a photographer rather than a
“shutter snapper”. We will demonstrate all the wonderful ways we can use digital
photography in our everyday lives to enhance and delight our friends and family.
Class attendees will receive weekly hand-outs to help clarify the class topics.
People taking this class should have some basic computer skills, how to open
programs, how to manipulate the mouse or keypad, and how to save files. Bring
your own laptop if you wish to use it during class.
