Schedule Description: Daily

Sessions: 6

Session Hours: 6.00

Program Area: Photography

Instructor: Charles Gattis

Studio/Location: Harvest Room

Student Materials: Please bring the following: -Students will need to have an iPhone or comparable smartphone that takes pictures. iPhones are preferred as the instructor will not have used any other. More recent iPhones are also preferred due to the innovations made over the past several years. A very recent iPhone will provide a much better experience for the student. -A laptop computer or iPad would also be helpful to the students as we will cover editing images in the class. We will edit in both Snapseed and Adobe Lightroom Mobile. Snapseed is a free app and Lightroom does have a 30 day trial period if the student wants to try it out. Of course, students can edit on their iPhones, but it is much easier on a larger screen. (See other information on computers below. A flash drive or portable drive may also be appreciated by the students if they don't have any other way of storing images that are edited off line. - Comfortable clothing, shoes, hat, and outdoor gear to suit the season (including rain gear). Also bring anything else you need for field trips (medicine, sunscreen, insect repellent, water bottle, etc.) For all digital classes: You are encouraged to bring your own laptop. (If you do, please have general knowledge on how to use it; we do not provide computer training.) You'll need tools to transfer your images from camera to computer; a memory card reader or a flash drive is recommended. The studio is equipped with 4 rather new Macs with the updated, full version of Photoshop for shared student use -- but this is not enough for a full class, so please bring your laptop if possible. If you use a school computer, you must bring a flash drive to save your work.

School Fee & Materials: Having Lightroom on the four computers would also be helpful as we will be editing with that and there is a version for the Macintosh that comes free with the adobe photography contract. I do also plan to bring my MacBook Pro to use with PowerPoint and Apple TV. That will make all the computers in the room available for students who don't bring a laptop.

Instructor Materials: Instructor will provide copies of the PowerPoint presentation following each class

Equipment Needs: Printer, paper, ink, foam board, glue

Skill Level: All Levels

Total Materials Fees: $0
