Essential Photographic Knowledge for Certification

Taught by Dr. Glenn M. Cope, CPP, Cr. Photog., API, EA-ASP, F-PPO
This is a special 3-Day Class, Tuesday through Thursday, June 14-16, 2011–but with evening sessions you will receive over 26 hours of study! This class will be held at Northern Oklahoma College, Central Hall, Room 108, Tonkawa, OK.

Have you ever wondered just how much you know about photography and digital imaging? Have you wondered just how you "stack up" with other photographers? Are you thinking about taking the Certification Exam?

Well this is your class!

Dr. Glenn Cope will take you through the essential photographic and digital imaging knowledge that will answer these questions. Whether or not you are interested in the certification process, sometimes having a good review is essential to “freshen up” a bit.

The class will cover essential information areas such as:

Cameras, lenses, and attachments—film and digital cameras will be reviewed with emphasis on digital
Light and lighting fundamentals
Lighting Ratios
Exposure, metering, and exposure meters
Digital post production fundamentals
Composition and design
Capture and output, both film and digital

Evening Sessions will be offered for additional study and image review.

The CPP Exam will be offered on Friday morning.

More details about the class will be up later.
