Basic Digital and Film Photography PHOT 10 (VOC)
  • Students completing Photography Courses will know the core skills of shutter control. What the shutter speeds are, i.e. 1000,500,250,125,60,30,15,8,4, 2, 1 and what they do, i.e. control exposure and motion.
  • Identify and describe the parts of a camera (i.e. lens, f/stop, shutter, etc.) and their functions.
  • Relate aperture settings to resulting depth of field characteristics.
  • Determine correct exposure values to produce photographic images.
  • Students completing Photography Courses will know the core skills of f/stop control. What the f/stops are, i.e. 1.4,2,2.8,4,5.6,8,11,16,22, 33 and what they do, i.e. control motion and depth of field
  • Select and present photographs in a presentation format appropriate to the subject (e.g. dry mounting , digital media, projection.)
  • Identify compositional elements (i.e. line, texture, shape, patterns, perspective) of a photographic image.
  • Select appropriate output media (i.e. digital or silver gelatin) for photographic prints.
  • Demonstrate appropriate shutter settings for motion and freeze action.
Digital Capture Workflow PHOT 11B
  • Students completing Photography Courses will know the core skills of f/stop control. What the f/stops are, and what they do (such as shallow depth of field and great depth of field).
  • Students completing Photography Courses will know the core skills of shutter control. What the shutter speeds are, what they do, (such as stop action and create blur).
