Robert M Baumbach Art and Photography

Digital Photo Class

I teach adult education classes at The Art Alliance of Central PA. This page contains information and lessons for my digital photo classes, Getting to Know Your Digital Camera and Digital Cameras in the Field. Lessons are posted for Shooting Flowers Indoors , Zoom or Not to Zoom and Abstraction and Reflections.  A method of Photographic Critique is presented on another page. Abstraction in the Camera is a page of examples from a workshop by that name..

Student Assignments  I will post some photographs here that you should look at and question as to how they were made.

Each week I will post a new image and answer the one from the week before. If you wish, you could e-mail your answer to baum634@hotmail.com or write it down and bring it with you to the class. I’ll probably answer it in class as well.

What are some things to think about with the exposure for the above picture? Answer: The key problem will be the exposure due to the contrast between the rising sun and the foreground. In this case I was actually interested in keeping the trees as silhouettes rather than fully defined. There is some texture in the grass which is more apparent in the original. I wanted the fog in the valley to show. The exposure meter reading was done in the sky area just above the trees rather than near the sun. The meter was on “center-weighted”
