Any Photography Tips On Developing Confidence To Take Shots Of Public Areas?
I’ve recently taken up a photography course and I’ve found that taking action shots of public areas can be a real pain. I’m usually stopped by police saying professional photography is prohibited. I also find that approaching people and asking them if they’re willing to pose for a shot is equally as frustrating and can be embarrassing. Any tips on overcoming this?
Syllabus For Digital Photography Course?
I am planning to teach an introductory and advanced digital photography class in the spring at the High School and Adult levels. Students will have some cameras (both SLR and “point and shoot) as well as PhotoShop CS available to them. Each course will be for 18 weeks with meetings of 110 minutes every other day.
I need a complete syllabus and course of study outline that should include goals, objectives, activities and performance indicators. A recommended text book and reference material would also be helpful.
Today’s Digital Photography
Digital Photography has taken the world by storm. Everyone, even children, know how to operate these technology advanced cameras.
From point and shot, to cell phone cameras, to the more advanced models with professional options, the world of photography has leapt off the small screen into the gigantic world of possibilities.
Prior to the “digital revolution,” film reigned supreme. But no more — Digital has taken the crown and reigns supreme worldwide.
Digital has changed the world of photography:
Unlimited images: Compact flash cards are the “film” of the digital age. They offer cards from 32mb up to 8gb to hold all your pictures. It is highly recommended to have several cards in your camera bag for long photo shoots, or in the unlikely event that an error occurs and makes your “only” card defective.
Delete: Unlike film, digital allows you to SEE the image instantly. No surprises. If the image is not perfect, simply delete and retake.
Download: Forget the local Photo Shop, digital is user friendly. Simply download the compact flash card to your computer via the USB cable or directly to your computer. You can download ALL pictures, or just a few. Word of Caution: if the file is forwarded to a client, renumber or rename the images. Missing images can create issues.
Processing: Along with the digital age comes professional software that allows you to customize the photo: change exposure, color correction, crop or retouch –even conversion from color to black/white. And, they can be printed on home printers, shared via email and uploaded to the worldwide web with ease.
Digital photography is the wave of the future. Whether a compact digital, cell phone camera, or the professional digital, these cameras create memorial images with unlimited possibilities. Christian Young Photography
