Two day course - intro to digital photography

This course is ideal for the complete beginner to those with some understanding of digital photography. You will gain sound knowledge and a feeling of confidence. You may be one of those who has a DSLR camera but have relied on the automatic controls - there's so much you'll learn.

Even if you are using some of the manual controls on your camera but are not yet confident knowing and understanding the principals - this course will suit you. Your learning experience will be very hands-on without all the fluffy technical jargon. You'll be doing things with your camera you didn't think possible!

The day will include sessions in aperture, shutter speeds, exposure control, ISO and white balance. It will also include using the rules of composition to creatively improve your photography. Don't worry if you don't know what any of this means yet - most people don't when they come to us!To begin, we'll recap and expand on all the skills and knowledge you have acquired from the one day course. We'll all visit a great nearby location, where we'll take part in an exciting photo-shoot. You will be given a set brief with specific tasks that you'll have learnt from the previous day's session. You will have the course trainer with you and you'll be rolling your sleeves up and getting 'creative' by putting into practice everything you have learnt. Practice makes perfect, so this is a great way to become completely immersed and learn at a deeper level.

We'll then head back to review the images taken, so we can 'ooh' and 'aah' at your new creative talent. We'll advise, critique, give additional tips and techniques, ensuring you have the necessary skills. We'll then be on hand for a Q&A session. Finally, we'll let you loose on the world,  as you will be itching to use your DSLR, noticing how much your photography skills have been improved and how confident you feel now.
