Week 1 - what makes an interesting image?
Week 2 - how does light become data in your camera?
Week 3 - image exposure - how to control it when you take a photo and how to alter it in Photoshop Elements.
Week 4 - How does focus work and how do you control the depth of field of a photo?
Week 5 - How you see colour, how the camera sees colours, how the VDU on your computer displays colour and how your printer prints colours, and then how do you control and adjust all that?
Week 6 - printing photos - what’s important?
Week 7 - a brief history of innovation in photography - where did the conventions come from?
Week 8 - Getting critical - practicing critiquing your own and other people’s photos, learning how to see and describe the visual and tehnical qualities of an image.
Weeks 9 and 10 - End of course assessment - preparing some great photos and describing why you think they are great.

Weeks 3, 4 and 5 were the most work, and in many ways the most important for improving your photography, since this is where you learn what most of the buttons do on your camera ie what is shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length etc. Expect to work hard but learn the underpinning principles of photography so that you can take your camera off automatic mode and play with the manual settings in a meaningful way.
