Workshop Description and Goals

If you want to become a photographer, do family portraits, travel photos, or just have fun, in this workshop you’ll experience basic understanding of the art of digital photography and the techniques necessary to create real products with your digital images. We’ll explore the creative ways in which light is manipulated to make great photographs; the elements of composition; technical understanding of the camera and its operation; the art of image enhancement and image preparation; a variety of end products (Prints, books, WWW, slide shows, DVD, etc.) that can make your images available for view by others.
