Do you just look at the pictures?
Want to try taking them?
Welcome to the Fall 2009 Photo Comp!
Comping the Photo Board will give you access to sporting events from the sidelines, concerts and other performances at venues ranging from Axis to Sanders, and major news events such as the criminal hearings in the recent Hasty Pudding scandal and speeches by heads-of-state such as former President Clinton and President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan. Just as exciting as the events you will cover is the knowledge of photography you will gain. Our compers generally start with no photographic experience and learn photojournalism using The Crimson’s cameras and equipment. Within the past year, we have transitioned to a line of professional-grade, digital SLR cameras, which has revolutionized photography at The Crimson more profoundly than any change since 1941, when photographs were first printed in the paper. By the end of the comp, you will have learned the basics of both color and black-and-white photography, including how to adjust camera settings manually, how to expose your photos for different lighting conditions, how to improve your photos in both technical and stylistic content and how to edit photos in Adobe Photoshop.
