Photography - Travel & Landscape

Course Number: ARTS0701

Please note: This course is not suitable for beginners. To participate in this course, knowledge of where the camera controls are located (i.e. menu, white balance, f-stops, ISO, etc) and how the camera works (i.e. f-stops and shutter speeds) is essential. Instruction can benefit traditional and point and shoot cameras but is best suited to DSLR cameras.
Our travels and journeys take us to places we never may visit again. On these trips we all want to document where we have been and, for the most part, capture a sense of place. The camera becomes our voice through our visual interpretation of the landscape. In this course you will learn how to create an effective photo essay that becomes your own personal interpretation of the places you visit. Good photographs are made, not just taken. You will learn how to create an image, not just take a picture. Through the use of simple techniques, discover how to take an effective portrait of people in the outdoors, how to enhance your landscape images, add emotion to your pictures and how to get the most out of the tools you have. You will spend time wandering through the village and surrounding areas looking for places of interest where you create your visual interpretation of the landscape. Through assignments, critiques of your work and slideshows, you will learn what it takes to be a more effective photographer. This course will help you to move out of your comfort zone as well as introduce you to new challenges with travel and landscape photography. Assignments are designed based on you knowing the fundamentals. Both digital and film cameras are welcome in this course.
