Introduction
Welcome to the "Photography Basics" course. I'm thrilled you're here! If you've made it to this page, it means you are interested in learning about the dimensions of photography, what I call the "art and science" of it. Art is for the creative side and science to know how to manipulate your camera to achieve the desired results. I am confident that this class will allow you to explore both sides. Before you even let the thought complete itself, I don't believe in the words, "But I'm not a science person!" or "But I'm not artistic or creative!" No one person is ever a math/science person or an arts person. We each have a mixture of these abilities...trust me. Let's experiment together. Exercises will touch on a little bit of science and a little bit of art. More than anything, I LOVE questions! You can't learn without asking questions! No question is a silly one...trust me, I've heard quite a few! That's where this course can help. We will build a community where questions are welcome. (You never know how many people are thinking of the same question that you dared to ask.) Throughout this course, I'll present questions to find out why each of us photograph. What first inspired you to pick a camera? What are you using for equipment? Film and digital are both explored because the components of photography are the same. Thank you for joining me in this adventure. I'm looking forward to working with each of you.
