CHINA VIEWS This online exhibition is a result of the first photography class for these Freshman art students at Zhaoqing University [China], and it comprises a great deal of field documentation in various locations. The focus is on fine art photography with classroom discussion on composition ... foreground-background interest, lightplay-shadowplay, juxtaposition, angularity, camera position, perspective, shape/form ... using the students', Tom R. Chambers' [Instructor's] and Master photographers' photographs. Photoshop is used to acquire skills in resizing, cropping and enhancement via filters such as sharpen and brightness/contrast. An important aspect of the class is exposure to the environs to become more aware of and have greater appreciation for the surroundings through their "mind's eye".
