PHOT 277 - Advanced Concepts in Digital Capture

(R only)

The purpose of this course is for students to expand the realm of possibilities in creating dynamic imagery beyond the fundamentals of image capture. Your previous knowledge of lighting, exposure, image editing, printing, and problem solving will be explored utilizing advanced concepts of photography with merging technologies. Students will develop strategies and multiple skillsets for the production of panoramic stitching, timelapse capture, focus stacking, extended and multiple exposures, cinemagraphs along with the use of ambient, continuous, and strobe lighting applications. PREREQUISITE(S): PHOT 265. Two hours lecture, two hours laboratory each week

3 semester hours

Course Outcomes:
Upon course completion, a student will be able to:

Synthesize compositional elements through complex camera settings, exposure, and lighting techniques utilizing current technologies of digital capture.
Apply advanced image editing concepts to achieve unconventional effects.
Research historical applications of similar approaches relevant to the current technologies.
