If you want to gain a better understanding of your camera and get out of automatic mode then this could be just the course you are looking for!
This six session practical course will cover the fundamentals of digital photography, enabling you to improve your photographic skills and boost your self-confidence in using your camera manually
Each week you will delve into essential concepts such as familiarizing yourself with the various buttons on your camera, understanding exposure, aperture, shutter speed, and mastering manual mode.
For inspiration we will be looking at highly respected photographers such as Ansel Adams, Steve McCurry, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. These traditional photographers have left a significant mark on the photography community and their work continues to influence aspiring photographers.
Although the course is based at the Arts Centre, there will be opportunities to explore and photograph the picturesque village of Yardley Hastings during the summer evenings - so please dress appropriately.
These are practical workshops, so access to a digital camera is essential. Please provide your own SD cards and have a memory stick available to store your images between sessions. It will be helpful to borrow a tripod for some sessions, but we do have one or two available. Pocket size notebook and pen are essential.
Please note that with a maximum of 8, the small class size ensures plenty of quality tutor time.
