Digital Photography Basics
Prerequisite: Basic computer skills
If you are becoming frustrated with always using the auto mode on your camera, consider taking this 15-hour course. Once you have a better understanding of your camera and how to use it in different light conditions, you’ll be much more confident taking photographs. You will also learn basic photo management and enhancement
techniques using Adobe Photoshop. This is a shortened version of the 30-hour course and shouldn’t be seen as a preparation for that course. Be sure to bring the camera connection cord and CD that came with your digital camera if you have them. An e-textbook is included with this course.
