Come to think of it, if it were up to me I wouldn't even include any studio photography in this level of photography course (I'd make it a separate course) but the department expects it, largely to work with the fashion department. That said, I'm not too worried about triggering the studio strobes; if all else fails they can be triggered optically from an on-board flash. Since this is the second of only two photography courses we have, getting the students to start working with interchangeable lenses and the effects of focal length is a must. I'd really like to confine them to primes but that's a non-starter. (I do plan on restricting some assignments to specifically one focal length and checking it in the metadata of the raw files.) Raw file conversion (and B&W in particular) will be part of the course. I'm going to have everyone convert to DNG and embed XMP file data (trying to get students to upload both a raw file and the XPM sidecar file that goes with it is too horrible to contemplate). -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
