"Photography 101" was a TESC class I'd been eyeing, but wasn't sure I'd get to do, until I got the Pell Grant that paid for a year of classes there. So I'm getting to do it, praise God! I'm about a month into it.
There are 6 2-week modules.
There is 1 required book, "Photography" by London, Stone & Upton. I got a pretty recent version, costing $65, but you might be able to make do with an even older one. I'll just have to see when I get to the stuff about darkroom vs. digital—you'll need to be up to date on that. In the course, you're provided with links to websites (like Kodak's) that have photo-taking tips. Quite a bit of it was review for me, of things I'd heard before, from friends and through independent research.
The main thing you'll be doing is reading a chapter of the book, then getting your camera out and practicing 1 or 2 of the techniques. It really forces you to learn about your camera, practice with the controls and take different kinds of pictures, which is great! Also, the other types of assignment is "personal," like showing what types if photography you like or are drawn to, what you like to photograph, things that help you "get in touch with your artsy side" I guess
My professor is Paul Light. He didn't have good reviews on ratemyprofessor.com, and he's living up to the mostly unsatisfactory reviews he does have. He doesn't grade fast, or give particularly good grades. I know photography is subjective, but when I had to write papers in other classes giving my opinion, the professors were happy to hear it and I got As. Here, I haven't gotten one 100 on a photo assignment yet. :confused:
Module 1—learning about your camera. Taking pictures from different distances.
Module 2—aperture and shutter speed. Taking pictures while changing these settings.
That's as far as I've gotten. I'll post again later.
