Photo class

I have taken U/W photos, some have turned out better than others. I don't know much about W/B or RAW. was thinking about taking a photo class. The 6 part beginner class is full. does anyone think that this class sounds useful?

Emory Digital Camera Basics classes in Atlanta Georgia

I am wanting to get a new camera. I currently have a Canon S1 IS, My housing was damaged but can probably be fixed. It needs a new piece that closes the unit. I was thinking of getting a G9, Housing and Magenta filter instead of spending the money on a replacement housing for a camera that I wanted to upgrade anyways.

thanks

I haven't heard of the course but it seems to cover all the basics. Another possibility is to take an online UW photo course. I have taken two courses from this source: The Underwater Photographer, Underwater Digital Photography Classes: Improve your underwater photos and found them to be very helpful. Marty and Bonnie also were quick to respond to my emails regarding questions that I had when taking the courses. I took the PADI photo course through my LDS and found that these courses were much better.

I've had mixed results with Photo Classes. I once took a basic digital photography course offered by the local Parks and Recreation department and found it was a little too basic for me. However, watching how the instructor used photoshop to display and quickly edit photos was quite educational, and I learned a lot from observation that had nothing to do with the class material.

On the other hand, I took a multi-day underater photography course from a well known photographer, and found it to be sadly lacking. I was swamped with questions from all of the other students in the class on the weekend AFTER the class was over because not a single one of the students could figure out how to get their cameras to work in their housings (the instructor had done everything for them).

I suspect you'll learn something from the class, even if it is not what the cirriculum covers.
