Theory Section Course Objectives: -Understand photography beyond basic cause->effect -Smaller apertures renders more things in focus -Higher ISO makes pictures noisy WHY? -Understanding the underlying science is the key to mastering photography: making photos look the way you want them to look, on demand. -Applying technical understanding to practical techniques -Darkroom of digital: Learn how to process photos Become a more capable photographer by attaining a technical understanding of photography

Photo Basics: Week 1: -Anatomy of a Digital Sensor -Conversion process of light into images -Aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity in sensor model Week 2: -Side-effects of exposure parameters -Autoexposure/metering -Controlling exposure parameters in program modes

Low-light photography: Week 3 -Analyzing blur -Blur reduction technology/techniques Week 4 -Defining noise -Sources of noise -Noise vs. detail Week 5 -Noise reduction methods -Creative usage of blur

Lighting: Week 6 -Why flash is usually bad -Advanced flash techniques -Flash stop-action -Direction and intensity of light Week 7 -Dynamic, tonal range limitations -Balancing detail vs. contrast Week 8 -Expanding dynamic range -Shrinking dynamic range Week 9 -White balance -Black and white conversion
