The key components to taking great photographs are knowing how to use your camera in manual mode, understanding the principals of composition and the elements of visual design, seeing like a photographer, and practicing taking photographs. The homework option is designed to help you put in to practice all of the things that you will learn in class. You will be given shooting assignments each week (4 assignments - one given each week during weeks 2, 3, 4 & 5 of Basic Digital Photography class) specific to that week’s class material. The instructor will then review your work and provide positive and constructive feedback to help you take your work up another notch. The critiques are provided via video and can be downloaded for reviewing as many times as you like. The instructor will be available to answer questions via email.
