Photography is more than just pointing a camera. It's about you and how you see the world. In this program, you'll gain an understanding of digital camera techniques while you learn to incorporate creativity and artistry into your photographs. Learn how to frame your shot, apply the Golden Mean, and capture lines, shapes, and textures. You'll take photos all over town and spend time in the university darkrooms developing photograms. Your best shots will be printed for our Summer Academy Photography Exhibit on Friday evening. Note: Campers must bring their own Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR or digital SLR) camera and USB cords.
