Digital Photography
The Department of Communications has shifted from teaching photography in the traditional 165-year-old darkroom technology to teaching it digitally in the Scripps Howard Center multimedia laboratory.
Now students use Sony digital cameras, equipped with 10-power zoom lenses and traditional controls on light, to take pictures. They download the photographs into the laboratory's computers using a 1.44 megabyte diskette and edit, crop, and manipulate the photographs through computer programs such as Adobe PhotoShop. Then they print their products using some of the best color printers available in the industry.
This is the technology that students need to be learning for the 21st Century.
