Available as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) offered by ALISON<\/a><\/strong>, Harvard University\u2019s Digital Photography Course will teach you the fundamentals of photography<\/strong>, ranging from topics like composition, lighting, and even the software tools that can help you with your photos.<\/p>\n

\"online<\/figure>\n

The entire course consists of thirteen modules with the final module being a final assessment<\/strong> of everything you\u2019ve learned from the course. Upon successful completion of the module, you\u2019ll be given a diploma which you can print out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One thing you should know before taking the course is that the modules are created from the 2009 syllabus. While most of the basics of photography are still accurate, the software modules are rather outdated<\/strong>. Despite that, the course is still a great place to start for anyone who\u2019s serious about photography.<\/p>\n
