Why Digital Photography for Genealogists?
I fell in love with digital photography when digital cameras appeared in stores. My first digital camera was a Nikon Coolpix 100 – with all of 0.3 megapixels! I’ve hung onto that camera for years, thinking one day it’s will go to a digital camera museum.
In the many years I’ve been shooting digitally, I’ve learned a tremendous amount, not only about using the camera itself but in using photo editing software; with software (or the free online sites you’ll use in the class) you can rescue those old ancestral photos and learn to take incredible portraits and group shots of your own family.
Whether you want to use images for a website, e-mail, a scrapbook, or a family history book, this class has plenty to offer.
Sign up now and once you’re in class, be sure to let me know what you want to learn or the digital camera challenges you’ve had – - and I guarantee in four weeks you won’t believe how much you’ll be able to do!
