About the Course:

The Digital Photography Decal is a technology-based photography course.  Rather than dealing with any of the aesthetic aspects of photographs however, this class will look at the technology underlying photography, discussing how camera systems work to produce images.  We’ll also explore the frontiers of photography, working with difficult photographic situations, learning our cameras’ technical limitations, and what we can do as photographers to work around or compensate for them.

The class will concentrate heavily on the workings of the digital imaging sensor, and will also cover optical systems and image editing through software.  The class will focus more on digital camera systems – however, many topics covered in the course will be common to both digital and film photography.

The class is aimed at any students interested in photography.  Some experience with basic photography principles will be very helpful(students should know about aperture, shutter speed, and what an “exposure stop” is), although accommodations can be made for interested students who don’t have any experience.

See the syllabus below for more information.

How to Enroll:

Attend the first day of class, 6:30-8:30 at 310 Hearst Mining on Thursday, September 6.  Course control numbers will be given out then.
