This class is for the new computer user who needs to know the basic functions of computing. We will cover all the basic functions, such as copy, cut, and paste. Locate applications loaded on the computer, printing, typing a quick note, email and the art of using the internet. Once we've mastered that, we'll move onto search engines what they are and how to find information. Discuss how to pay bills on line etc. and install software and many other useful tips for the new user. Again, this class is designed for the brand new user, so our pace will be following suit! Great class with limited spots so please register early!!

This course continues the exploration of photography as a creative medium. Basic knowledge of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) and the digital camera manual settings are required pre-requisites for this class. This course will build on the basic camera instruction provided in the Intro course, focusing on shooting RAW images, shooting for creativity, setting white balance in camera and in post-processing, different file formats, as well as simple photographic lighting techniques using natural and artificial light sources. This course will also cover more in-depth post-processing techniques and tools using Lightroom and Photoshop. Students will finish this course with a basic portfolio of fully edited and properly exposed images.  Students must have their own DSLR camera and are encouraged to bring their laptop.  It's also recommended to have access to Photoshop and Lightroom.  Don't fret if you don't have access to Photoshop or Lightroom, you'll still have loads of fun!
