Basic techniques will be reviewed but the course will quickly progress. Course highlights include, but aren't limited to: film scanning, Photoshop with film in mind, using analog cameras with digital capture devices, and exploring the distinctions between analog and digital output. Knowledge of basic camera principals recommended but not required. A lab fee is charged for this course.
