WOW - is Lightroom Boss or What?


You're getting to know Lightroom and I encourage you to explore on your own in either the classroom (Adams 201) on the MAC's or in the digital lab when available in Adams 208. The next thing I was going to show in class is in this video put out by Adobe.
Please go to this Link and view the 12-minute program before class on Monday.
In addition, I am working on possibilities for making our book and our exhibition happen. Hope you're out photographing on this beautiful day,
Doug

Welcome

Art 178C will offer several unique skills and thoughtful discussions about making art using the broad spectrum ofl photography. Depending on your previous classes, you'll be able to make artwork in a variety of ways related to the photographic medium, using color, black and white, film, and digital. In the past, people have used tools that range from the large-format view camera, to the ultra-casual (or not) Holga, to the cameraless, to the digital SLR, to the digital flatbed scanner and beyond.

Of course there will be some structure imposed so that the curriculum that the instructor has chosen and that which students will add in our first classes can be covered and accounted for. The main goal, however, is to make the class conducive to your working and progressing further to understand, appreciate, create, provoke, suffer (you thought I'd leave that out?), and experience the joy of photography. Welcome!
