NEW! ONLINE! Intro to Film Photography
The class starts with understanding the foundation of all photography: light! Learning
to take photographs manually -- by adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
of any camera-- is a great way of learning photography. This method teaches students
to learn how to control light and create an image using film cameras. Via Zoom meetings
students will learn the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO how they
work together to create a photograph. Other topics include composition, types of film,
types of cameras and how to develop film and print negatives. This course also includes
1 on 1 darkroom instruction at 250th Community Darkroom located at Mill No. 5 in Lowell. Students
are required to bring their own film camera. Please contact instructor Tory Wesnofske
at 250thcamera@gmail.com and let her know what camera you intend to use. (15 hours
) $250

Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud
Have you ever seen photographs that were ripped or faded, then perfectly restored
and wondered, how did they do that? Perhaps you have marveled at the way a portrait
can be transformed to make the subject matter appear 10 years’ younger or how people
can be added or deleted to a scene. This course will cover batch processing images,
advanced masking techniques, special effects and filters. We will explore the exciting
possibilities in High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR), the current creative trend
in image manipulation. Photoshop Creative Cloud has become an essential tool for professional
and amateur photographers and is considered to be "Today’s Darkroom". To take this class, students are required to use MCC issued software. Log-in information
and access instructions will be emailed to the student a few days before the class
start date. Personal/Home software is not permitted $209
