Having spent over a year using my camera only on auto or pure fluke to take photos I decided I needed help to figure out all the settings I should be using.

This photography course explained all the settings and picture composition tips I needed and no one left without all of their questions being answered- Including me.

Simply explained practical photography courses in small groups run by an award winning professional photographer

If you want to get your camera off the full auto setting and find out what the A, AV, S, TV, P and M settings do then this is the digital camera and photography course for you.

These intensive hands on digital photography courses will suit anyone from the complete beginner to the intermediate digital photographer. All our courses use a proven system of explanation, demonstration and practical exercises to ensure you will feel much more confident about using your camera. (read testimonials)

Many digital photographers use their camera on the fully automatic setting and find they tend to get average uninteresting photographs.

If you want to learn how to get much better pictures from your expensive new digital SLR or digital compact camera by using all the other settings then you need to join one of our very popular Digital Photography Courses.

All the courses start off with the absolute basics and progress, step by step, through to some of the more technical aspects. Each theoretical lesson is followed by a demonstration then a practical session.

At the end of the day the images are put onto a PC for viewing and constructive criticism .There is also a short photo editing tutorial.

Now is your chance to learn from an award winning professional photographer, who will share his knowledge and considerable expertise with you personally. We only work with small groups of 6 or 7 so you get lots of personal tuition. Beware of some other camera courses which will take up to 30 students at one time.

These courses are a perfect day out, birthday treat, or a holiday day out with a difference. So if you are bored with time off, consider coming along to have fun and learn new skills.
