Instructor: Paul Dileanis, Photographer<\/strong><\/p>\n Photography today is a demanding field requiring an artistic eye, a solid understanding of photographic technique and the flexibility to adapt to the challenges of digital photography. The basics of photography haven\u2019t changed since the first permanent image was created in 1826. We are still using a light tight box containing a light sensitive material with a lens and other means to control the exposure. The challenge we have today is all the added features, some well thought out and some added at the behest of marketing departments. Many of the tasks, such as color and calibration, we once relegated to the engineers at Kodak and to our processing labs with little or no control over the final image.<\/p>\n Today your camera is a portable computer with the ability to alter many image characteristics in the camera itself.\u00a0 You have the choice of shooting in the factory default settings or exercising more precise control over the color, exposure and other parameters.<\/p>\n This workbook and the accompanying exercises will help familiarize you with the most important controls and features of your DSLR.\u00a0 By understanding how these controls work and learning the basics of photography you will be well on the way to learning how your camera \u201csees\u201d.\u00a0 This knowledge will help you improve your photography and aid in developing your photographic vision.<\/p>\n Paul Dileanis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A sensor is a silicon semiconductor meant for acquiring photons and converting them into electrons. You could compare this process to millions of tiny buckets collecting rain water. The more photons that are collected the brighter the captured area. Once they are full, they overflow. What flows over gets lost. This is often referred to as \u201cblooming\u201d or \u201cclipped highlights\u201d.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","course_category":[73,74,53],"course_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8981","lp_course","type-lp_course","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","course_category-beginning-digital-photography","course_category-on-line-photography-courses","course_category-photography","course"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lp_course\/8981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lp_course"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lp_course"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8981"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lp_course\/8981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9054,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lp_course\/8981\/revisions\/9054"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course_category?post=8981"},{"taxonomy":"course_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/siliconvalleyimages.com\/PaulDWorkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course_tag?post=8981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
