Harvard is putting its Photography classes on-line for free

[mnhtnbb]

Following in the footsteps of Stanford University, Harvard has announced that they are going to make their photography classes available for free online. The prestigious university has uploaded the program to their online platform Alison. https://alison.com/courses/Digital-Photography/content


There are twelve modules, with a 13th module that is a final evaluation that you have to take to complete the course.

The program is mainly composed of the basics of digital photography, including classes on retouching software, how to use a digital camera, reading histograms, the importance of light, color, exhibition techniques and a brief history of photography.

I find winter is the time to learn, the rest of the year to apply what I have learned.
