PHOTOGRAPHY
For digital photography classes, the Workshop’s photo department has 6 computers: 3 Mac and 3 PC. When signing up for these classes, please state your preference. Students with laptops may bring them instead of using CAW’s computers. Photoshop CS4, CS5 or CS6 is recommended. Students must provide their own paper for printing. For darkroom classes, tuition includes the use of the lab during class hours.

Digital Capture: Digital Camera Technique - CLASS IS FULL
This course will focus on understanding the digital camera and rules of composition. Students will learn to use their camera’s controls to express their vision, to use compositional techniques to draw interest and gain an understanding of lighting to make the most impact with their photos. Through demonstrations, assignments and critique, students will develop as photographers. This class is NOT a Photoshop class, as the main goal is getting the most out of your camera. This course is designed as part of a series; there will be a follow-up course offered in the following session that focuses processing and the digital darkroom. Prerequisite: Basic computer knowledge (Mac or Windows). Required: Digital camera with full manual control (usually DSLR or Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera).
