Stanford professor releases free university-level digital photography course

F-Stoppers:

Marc Levoy is a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Stanford. His profile on the Stanford website tells me he has recently retired from the institution after five years in favor of leading a team at Google — more specifically, working on photography projects at Google Research, including the likes of Google Glass, Nexus Smartphones, and Android. When he made the move, he was initially teaching a revised version of his Stanford course. Now, that very course is accessible online absolutely free. The outline depicts the course as an introduction to the “scientific, artistic, and computing aspects of digital photography.”

The course is a little heavy on the tech but definitely interesting and informative.
