Digital Photography

Digital Photography
An introduction to the scientific, artistic, and computing aspects of digital photography. Topics include lenses and optics, light and sensors, optical effects in nature, perspective and depth of field, sampling and noise, the camera as a computing platform, image processing and editing, and computational photography. We will also survey the history of photography, look at the work of famous photographers, and talk about composing strong photographs. This course is based on CS 178 (Digital Photography), which I taught at Stanford from 2009 through 2014. I revised and taught the course again at Google in Spring of 2016, and these web pages are from the Google version. The course consists of 18 lectures. I am making these materials freely available, but some of the photographs included in the lectures are individually copyrighted. The course assumes no prior knowledge of photography. Taking photographs and improving your picture-taking skills are a good reason for taking this course.

How many times have you visited a beautiful place only to find it completely packed with tourists resulting in, for example, a sunrise at Angkor Wat with more people than wat? While I don’t necessarily recommend trying to edit people out of all of your travel shots, it’s still fun to play around and view a place as it would look with nobody else there. Fortunately, Photoshop makes it surprisingly easy to get these postcard-style shots. All it takes is an extra couple of minutes setting up your camera.

Dissecting the Hipster Look Take an ironic look at ‘hipster’ style color grades. With Instagram being over 4 years old I think it’s safe to say hipster style photography and filmmaking is more than just a fad.

A lot of the photographers were bracketing their photos and they made it look so easy! They'd press the shutter release and the camera would bang out 3 or more shots in less than a second. My Nikon D90 wasn't playing so nice.
