Ozarka College in Mountain View will offer a four-day Photography and Photoshop continuing education course, beginning in December.

The course will be taught by Patrick Ward and will meet daily from December 1 through December 4 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Tuition is $20.00 per student and pre-registration is required.

There will be two levels of photography taught.   The first will cover the basics of camera use; students will learn how to properly use the shutter speed, aperture and ISO to consistently get the photograph they desire.   Students need to bring a camera that has adjustable settings, preferably a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) that has the ability for multiple lenses and modes.

The second level of photography will cover preparation for specific shooting settings such as sports, portraiture, landscapes and macro.   Proper lighting techniques using natural lighting as well as flash photography will also be covered.

The first level of Photoshop will get everyone familiar with the complicated but powerful world of Photoshop CC.   Students should be prepared to take notes during this portion of the class; bringing a notepad or laptop is encouraged.

The second level of Photoshop will cover, in detail, how and why to work in layers, mask images for fine detail editing, fix blemishes, patch tool as well as many others.

Seating is limited!   For more information about additional items this course will cover or to register, please contact Lindsay Wilson-Galloway, Director of Ozarka College Off-Campus Operations in Mountain View by calling 870.269.5600 or email lhgalloway@ozarka.edu
