These Galleries were created for Jerry's Digital Photography Class to illustrate various artistic and technical aspects of photography, including:
  • Use of Light
  • Compositional Techniques, such as the Rule-of-Thirds, Framing and Viewpoint
  • Using Shutter Speed to "stop" the motion in sports, etc.
  • Using Shutter Speed to "create" a sense of motion in waterfalls, etc.
  • The affect of Aperture on Depth-of-Field (see Matryoshka Dolls)
  • Exploring a Subject from various perspectives
There is a lot of good material on the web also. This additional article will get you started.
