Capturing the Moment in a Photograph
Snapping pictures is one thing, but capturing a moment that represents a deep understanding and keen perception of seemingly ordinary events – is another. Whether you use photography to share your travels to exotic places, capture the excitement of a child's first steps, or express joy at a family event, you can learn how to take pictures that express your unique feelings about an event. After reviewing camera use and the elements of photography, like exposure, depth of field, filters, and composition, we will discuss choosing a subject and organizing your documentary plan. Using pictures we've taken in class, as well as teacher samples, we'll have discussion-based critiques and learn by doing. By the end of the class you should be able to present a picture that needs no explanation.
