Important!! College question!? |
im 22 years old and ive been avoiding going to college since high school, cuz i been nervous, but last night i just winged it and applied to cerritos community college, i start in august and end in december, im taking photography black & white. im so excited, i cant wait!! :D does anyone know (whos taken this course) what i can expect? and please wish me luck, im so nervous! but happy at the same time!!! You will get an overview of what photography is ... and isn't. You will be expected to have a 35mm camera that can be used to complete all of the assignments (the instructor will be able to tell you if yours is up to the task). You will lean how to expose the film, process it, make contact prints and later make prints of selected images. As you take more classes and have honed your skills behind the camera and in the darkroom, you will be given more challenging assignment which will help stretch your creative juices. Enjoy your classes and shoot, shoot, shoot. Source(s): Editorial, sports and glamour photographer i'll wish you luck...althoguh at a community college i doubt you'll be very challenged....community colleges are often easier than high school.....the failures in my high school went there....you'll be fine Good luck - I took a little photgraphy class in Berkeley - it taught us about cameras, film and then how develop pictures in a darkroom and the techniques for doing it. You use this machine to do the development - but this was in 1999 before the big digital revolution in cameras - so it might not be the same. You can always email the professor and ask him what to expect though. Good luck again Good Luck! I've been through Community College and believe me it's not challenging at all... So losen up and have fun! And Good Luck again! I am a huge black and white photography fan, and I am also a huge fan of the opinion that you need at least one college degree, otherwise it means you are not interested in anything in the whole wide world, and you only studied all the way to high school because you were told to. I have no idea about Cerritos Community College, but if you like what you are studying, it's always fun. In a college you finally get treated as an adult. You decide how much you study, how you study, whether you do your homework or not etc. You'll have to learn to make all these decisions yourself, and this is what prepares you for life, which is pretty ironic, since it means most human beings are not really prepared for life before around one third of it is gone. Best of luck to you. I haven't taken the course at that college, but I do have a degree in photography, so I can give you a few words of advice. No matter what, brace yourself for criticism. Your teacher will be trying to train your eye, and usually will not agree with you about your work. Don't get discouraged. He/she is not trying to make you quit, but he/she will give you constructive criticism. They are trying to make you into the best photographer you can be. It seemed to me that the more potential my teachers saw, the harder they were on us. As for what to expect, it depends on how you feel about photography and printing. If you love it, expect to spend ALOT of time working on shooting, developing, and printing as well as researching and looking at professional photographers and their works. If you don't like it, expect to put in enough time to pass the class and nothing more. This goes for any class you may take in college- the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Good luck!!! |
