Digital SLR Camera Photography Courses £125 pp

These intensive courses will suit anyone from the complete novice to intermediate photographer. Many photographers tend to use their camera on the full auto setting and want to learn how to get much better pictures from their new camera by using the other settings.

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.

After the practical session the images are put on to a PC for viewing, constructive criticism and feedback. This is followed by Photoshop tutorial where we will show you how to get the best from your your photographs by improving or replacing a dull sky.
