Welcome to Langley Secondary School - Home of the Saints!

Photography 11

This course lays the foundation for understanding and appreciating the visual world of Photography. The course introduces students to the 35 mm SLR camera, exposing, developing and printing black and white images, producing candid photos, landscapes, natural light and studio lighting portraits, action photography and class projects. Students will also use Digital SLR cameras with photo editing in Photoshop CS3, including adjusting levels and curves, sharpening, channel mixers and extractions and shadows.  This course publishes the school annual. Students will learn to use Indesign CS3 to produce layouts with their photographs, articles and captions. Students should be prepared to work outside of class to finish deadlines when necessary.

Students must have permission of the instructor (Ms Rees) to be accepted into this course. An application form will be available in the counseling office.
