The course develops and expands on the Basic Digital Photography Course, although it is not a prerequisite to have completed the basic course. The class will be structured to meet the needs of the majority of students. Students are invited to bring their camera for this course. It is preferable to bring one. This course is intended mainly for students who have digital cameras. However, if you only use a mobile phone for photography you are welcome to attend as long as you keep this in mind. We will work with your in-phone camera settings during the course as best we can.
