Taking pictures can be a fun and rewarding hobby. It’s also a wonderful way to chronicle important moments, and capture events and experiences that are just fun, interesting or entertaining. Using a few simple shooting techniques and full “Auto” mode, today’s digital cameras easily allow you to take professional quality pictures. In this course, learn how to make and use simple pieces of equipment to improve your shots. Work on photo composition, lighting, and creativity, and also learn how to avoid common mistakes that result in headless, out-of-focus, overexposed, underexposed, and generally poor-quality images. Other topics include: photo storage, photo cropping, and various types of display.
As a business major at SUNY Plattsburgh, Don Leonard was required to take some fine arts credit hours. He chose “Photography” and “Cinematography,” and he has used and enjoyed what he learned in those fine arts courses more than what he learned in any of the other courses he took in college.
NOTES: 1) This is a hands-on class; each day, bring your camera and the booklet that came with it (if you have it); 2) Homework assignments include taking pictures.
