PHO-3001L Nature/Landscape Photography
This course examines the great outdoors. The nature photographer needs to have the right equipment, the right light, and know what to look for in the right moment. This course will instruct the student on various techniques to capture landscape, wildlife, and close-up subjects. Every other class we will experience the beauty of photographing the magic of nature. Full-day special outing is possible. Prerequisite: Digital Photography: Beyond the Basics at Durham Tech or another college or demonstration of equivalent skill level as determined by instructor is necessary to take this course.

PHO-3001M Basic Digital Photography
Have you ever taken a picture of a beautiful scene, but it didn't turn out as pretty as you remembered? Have you ever gotten a new camera but didn't understand how it worked or the manual wasn't helpful? Enabling you to pick up a camera and use it easily, this course helps you improve the quality of the photos you take by focusing on basic techniques and then moves well past amateur photographic knowledge. Students may need to purchase additional materials.

PHO-3001N Photography: Basics & Beyond
This course is a combination of The Basics and Beyond the Basics for those students that truly want to grasp photography and know how to control your camera for the picture you want. This course provides some advantages over taking two separate courses. Without having to do reviews of past course information, we have time to learn more. This course eliminates question about when you will be able to take a second course. As in the Basics course, we do start off very basic. However, by the end of this course you should feel that you have a better ability to take pictures and a more solid ability with camera controls. Much of this course is taught by doing and not just lectures.
