Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this digital photography class:

This course focuses on the foundations of photography and the various ways to use a digital camera. Students examine how to choose and shoot subjects that are both personally meaningful in content and contemporary in context. Instruction includes capturing and printing images in both black and white and color, and investigating digital photo editing. 

Discussions on the history of photography and individual and group critiques are included.

Question from JO
Am I able to bring a mirrorless camera instead of my SLR?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Jo! DSLR is required for this class.
Answer from anonymous
Don't see why a mirrorless wouldn't be acceptable as almost anything you can do with a Dslr can be done with a mirrorless camera and there are plenty of comparable lenses
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hello there! A mirrorless camera will work fine for this course. The school list DSLR because many students entering the introductory level class will not necessarily know what a mirrorless camera is. They do not want them to mistake the requirement for a point and shoot camera, which would not be adequate. But you can use a mirrorless camera for this class. Hope this helps!
