This is a fun and exciting introduction into a new world of digital photography. Students are introduced to digital camera controls, image creation and workflow, from capture to print output. In-class instructions and assignments cover non-automatic shooting modes, image storage capabilities, file types, menus, exposure, light, shutter effects, and creativity.

Demonstrations and lectures are complemented by daily field trips to beautiful Midcoast locations. Students take their field images back to the digital lab, and learn to utilize Adobe Lightroom software and Epson printers for optimal image development, organization and output. Extensive hands-on class and fieldwork provides students with the knowledge and practice to become comfortable with digital SLR cameras and image processing. 

Students are to bring a digital SLR camera and manual or can borrow one for the week from the Workshops' Digital Service Department.

This workshop is the first of a three-course sequence in digital photography. No previous knowledge or experience required.
