| Areas of specialty: |
Applied and technical
photography including high speed, schlieren and shadowgraph,
synchroballistic, photofinish, panoramic and peripheral photography,
imaging by invisible radiation, velocity recording, photograpmmetry and
many other techniques related to visualizing, quantifying and solving
problems encountered in engineering, technical and scientific
situations. Also, special effects techniques and processes with
application in advertising and commercial photography. |

Courses taught: |
2076-511 High-Speed/Time-Lapse Photography The theory and practice of photographic systems designed to permit analysis of events of very short or of extended duration. Included are operational characteristics of time-lapse cameras, sequencing and timing control devices, time magnification relationships. Also, characteristics of intermittent and rotating prism cameras, rotating mirror and drum cameras, synchronization system and timing controls and high-speed flash and spark gap systems. Students gain experience not only in the use of the basic equipment but also in proper planning, set-up and data reduction techniques through a series of practical experiments. (For upper-division 2076 students, others with permission of the instructor) Class 2, Lab 4, Credit 3 |
| 2076-461,
462, 463 Photoinstrumentation Applications Seminar The student is exposed to a variety of technical, industrial and/or applied photographic experiences in order to gain a fuller understanding of the scope of photography and its applications. Simplified approaches to photographic instrumentation applications are emphasized. Photographic topics are discussed that emphasize scientific and technical applications where photography functions as a tool of measurement and visualization of events that are beyond the range of normal photographic equipment. Class 1 1/2, Lab 4, Credit 4 |
|
| 2076-503 Survey of Nonconventional Imaging A survey of imaging methods and imaging systems not normally encountered in other technical photography courses, including UV, IR, 3D, holography, electrophotography, x-ray and nonsilver applications. (For upper-division 2076 students, others with permission of the instructor) Class 2, Lab 2, Credit 3 |
|
| 2076-487 Special Effects Photography A course for practicing photographers and students in which photographic effects beyond those encountered in everyday situations in illustrative, commercial and advertising photography are discussed and practiced. Among the topics to be covered are stroboscopic, peripheral, scanning, high-speed flash, matte box and combination flash/tungsten photographic techniques. (For upper-division SPAS students) Class 2, Studio 4, Credit 4 |

|
2076-479 |
|
| 2076-486 Photographic Scanning Systems The student receives instruction and makes photographs related to the ever-increasing application of scanning imaging systems in industry, especially as these relate to industrial, scientific and technical applications. Simplified and experimental equipment is demonstrated and used. Primary emphasis is on demonstrating a thorough understanding of the imaging processes and controls at work in systems such as peripheral, photofinish, strip enlarging and panoramic recording methods. (For upper-division 2076 students; others with permission of the instructor) Class 2, Lab 4, Credit 4 |
