Digital Photography for Beginners

Learn the basics or start to expand your knowledge of digital photography on this introductory course.

You learn about:
- aperture and shutter speed and how to apply that knowledge to your own camera
- composition so you can explore the possibilities for more dynamic, powerful pictures
- picture evaluation – so you can improve them further
- creative imagery
- technical skills related to macro, portrait, low light and flash photography

Learning is through demonstrations and discussions, practical activities in studio and on computers, activities (group/pair/individuals) and self/peer assessment. Your tutor is a professional photographer.

There is no formal assessment, though you do receive individual feedback about your work during each session.

You gain the confidence to use your camera on settings other than automatic – you can control it. This means you can start to create better pictures.

You need a digital camera and basic computer skills.
