Photography fundamentals offered at WKCTC

West Kentucky Community and Technical College in Paducah is offering a five-week class to teach the fundamentals of photography beginning Aug.  26.

Class instructor Jim Ethridge will cover topics such as camera types, exposure settings, composition, posing, lighting, types of photography and more.

Photographs by Ethridge have been used in several books including: "Paducah, Kentucky: A Center for Culture and Commerce," which was published by Turner Publishing; and "In Your Backyard," an article in the fall 2001 issue of Nature Photographer Magazine. Ethridge has also won several local photography contests.
             
Photographic Fundamentals will be held each Tuesday evening Aug. 26, Sept. 2, 9, 16 and 23. Each class will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. in WKCTC’s Emerging Technology Center, Room 214. A short field trip in Paducah is planned for Sept. 16.

The cost for the five classes is $95. Participants are encouraged to bring a camera. A specific type of camera is not required for the class.
