Skill Level: Suitable for beginners (see Need to know)

Find out how to take a great creative and technical photo and get the best use from your digital camera and develop your photography skills.

Covering a wide range of subjects, from the art of photography through to creative control, composition & use of light, this course will give you the technical knowledge and confidence to use your camera to its full potential.

During Session 1 you will be introduced to the technical aspects of photography and be shown how to use shutter speed, aperture, white balance and ISO to achieve the right exposures for your photographs. Session 2 will focus on the creative side of photography, with practical tasks that will help you explore different ways of composing and ‘manipulating’ your shots before you press the shutter. In the final session you’ll explore the different ways in which we use photography in our lives (travel, portraits, landscapes etc) and look at file storage and image manipulation. (Please note that for the Saturday course the sessions will be split differently)

All of this and more will ensure you see immediate results in your every day photography and improve your confidence.

Skills at a glance: Functions and features of a digital camera, basic composition & lighting control, getting the best from your subject and creating great shots.

Tutor: Rik Sterken

Need to know: Bring along the digital camera you want to learn with. This course is suitable for both beginners and those who have more experience in photography but want to make more use of their camera.
There will be a number of practical exercise during the sessions and two home tasks, which will be reviewed at the start of sessions 2 & 3
