Digital Photography
Jeff Yonover
Learn how to move from taking snapshots to making professional photographs from a world renowned digital photographer! Gain a working understanding of basic automatic and manual camera functions (both digital and film), creative use of available light, and exposure adjustments. Create your own portfolio of landscape, abstract, and portrait images. “Workflow management” will give you skills in transferring images from the camera to the computer, editing for quality, and creatively manipulating “keeper” images in the digital darkroom. This class has lots of hands-on time taking pictures, as well as computer time for editing. Each student should bring a digital camera, and all students will get enlarged prints and a portfolio to display their work. See Jeff’s work at www.jeffyonover.com.
