	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.


	Image ONE


	The stream photograph uses a slow shutter speed to blur the water, yet the moss on the rocks is sharply focused. What are some ways to hold your camera steady for the exposure? What settings would you or could you use on your camera to produce this effect? Send Answers to baum634@hotmail.com or bring them to class.


	Image TWO

The redwood at the left was shot using maximum depth of field. Explain what factors affect depth of field, and give an educated guess as to the settings for this shot.

		Image THREE

	This shot of Irish Bells was done outdoors in the garden. How did I control the lighting and background to compliment the subject?


	Image FOUR


	What are some things to think about with the exposure for the above picture?
