Our Digital Photography 1: Fundamentals course gives you the opportunity to gain hands-on camera experience through a series of exercises and assignments. Through the evaluation of your photo assignments, learn how to choose exposure settings, solve focus problems, and critique your own images from a technical standpoint. This mastery of your camera controls helps you create quality images, which is essential for successful image editing and manipulation. This photography course also introduces you to Adobe Bridge, which you can use to evaluate your photos.
