Using a Digital Camera:

Objective: The goal of this project is to learn the basics of using a digital camera. This includes exploring the features of the camera you are using, learning how to use flash memory and card readers to store and transport image fiels, and learning how to print and post images for your printed and on-line portfolios.  Please read the THEORY section (click on the button to the left).

Requirements: To complete this project you must create an online portfolio of four digital pictures.  You should create a one-page web with a theme, links and a cover (index).  There should be a linked page from your cover page that contains these four images.  The images should be presented in a hyper-linked thumbnail gallery.

The four images must be taken using a digital camera, and should show a range of settings - some with flash, some without, some indoor, some outdoor...etc.  Each image should be cropped appropriately, and enhanced to show good color balance and contrast.  You should provide a title for each image, and a brief of description of where and when the image was taken.

You should make 4" by 6" high resolution prints for two of the pictures in your portfolio. These should be printed on photo paper and kept in a safe print portfolio for later display.
