Our workshop aims to equip you with the knowledge to get the absolute best out of your camera so you can focus more on taking great pictures.
The workshop begins with a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of photography, covering the best approach to mastering aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focusing, composition and light metering. Following this you will be given a tailored introduction to understanding your cameras menu system helping you to understand some of the hidden features and how to set your camera up perfectly for the pictures you want to take.
Once you are set up and comfortable with your camera we will ‘go out’ taking pictures, this is where the ‘fun’ begins putting into practice the varying techniques discussed in the earlier. The workshop finishes with an introduction to the best practice for uploading and organising your images on the computer.
