Basic Photography
This course on basic photographic techniques will cover camera types, lenses, filters, depth
of field, exposure control, flash equipment and lighting, films and tripods. Composition, close-ups, landscapes,
people and portraits, night photography and special effects will also be covered.
Two field trips include a Sunday morning in Muir Woods and a class night starting in San Francisco
at the Palace of Fine Arts, then the Golden Gate Bridge and finally Vista Point. You are responsible for your own
transportation.
Bring an adjustable camera to class each week. Digital techniques will be discussed; however, this class is beyond
the level of simple point and shoot cameras. Darkroom work (processing and printing your own film) will not be
discussed.
Jed Manwaring specializes in travel and outdoor photography. His
photographs have appeared most recently in Golden Gate National Parks: A Photographic Journey and in the 2004 CEDCO
Sonoma calendar.

Night Photography
Learn to gauge long exposures in locations illuminated by artificial light, as well as by the
light of the full moon, for beautiful photographs of the world at night. Emphasis will be on evaluating existing
lighting and exposing accordingly. Some classes will be on location at places like the Golden Gate National Recreation
Area, the Presidio and the Marin Headlands.
The class is limited to 12 students and is not for beginning photographers. You must know how
to use your specific (preferably manual) camera and have a firm grasp of the basic concepts of photography. Digital
cameras (with full manual override) are acceptable for most of the fieldwork.

manual mode, white balance adjustment, metering, built in flash, zoom, macro and auto focus vs. manual focus. You
will be given a list of different types of pictures to take during class. The images will be downloaded to the
computer and we will use Adobe Photoshop Elements to evaluate and optimize the quality of the images.
