Teach the Teachers

Advanced Instructor syllabus – 3 days

This course is intended to cover all critical technical areas of digital photography needed by instructors to teach digital photography. It is intended for those people with an extensive background in classic photography, yet not having had an opportunity to study the new digital technologies in depth. Although this three day course covers virtually a semester's worth of material, it is presented so that attendees will be exposed to enough material to easily enable further self study if desired. The material spans image capture through professional printing, including: Digital light theory and color spaces; How sensors work; Capture and file formats; ISO and noise; Temperature (white balance); Color profile theory with internals, construction, input/monitor/printer profiles; profile generation; and design of professional workflows;

The follow items outline the course material:

1.Introduction – Course goals, including preparing instructors for digital photography instruction. Covering critical topics on from theory to practical applications of the new world of professional digital photography.

2.Digital Light – Review of the visible light spectrum in preparation for discussion on how the mind generates colors, including effects on both our eye sensors (our cones) and digital camera sensor

3.Maxwell's color theory – Mixing wavelengths to achieve specific colors. How this actually works and its implications for higher channel printing.

4.The human eye: Cones as sensors – Details on what our eyes sense and how it is integrated into the sensation of colors. Variations between different groups (including gender variations) are covered.

5.CCDs and CMOS as sensors – Detailing the sensors used by digital cameras and they both differ from each other and from our eye sensors. This item is critical to understanding ISO and noise.

6.Digital camera capture – Detailing the essential components of RAW images and how to take advantage of the temperature, ISO, color rendition, size, and resolution.

7.Camera Color temperature settings - Further details of color temperature, the ICC color standard, and implications for profiles.

8.Camera ISO settings and noise – How does ISO settings really effect noise and why.

9.Implications of full format sensor size – Does size really matter?

10.Profile overview – a basic review of profiles, why and how are they used.

11.How profiles work – a limited review of how profiles actually work.

12.Generating profiles - how one generates profiles.

13.Input profiles – details of input profiles, comparing sRGB, Prophoto, Abobe 1998 etc.

14.Monitor profiles – why, what, and their limitations.

15.Printer profiles – details of printer profiles, inks, and paper
