Style and Power through Photo Composition
Week 2 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Hultquist 201A | Ages 14 and up
Do you take snapshots rather than create impactful images? If your images lack style and drama, understanding the elements of composition will allow you photos that create a stronger visual image. The course will help you see the most important part of a scene, to eliminate extraneous and distracting elements, and to place elements in a scene more effectively. While emphasizing the creative more than the technical, we will focus on understanding aperture priority, manual exposure, shutter speed, and histogram to judge exposure as we photograph around the grounds. Any type camera welcome.
