Course description

This Beginners Guide to Digital Photography Evening Course is aimed at beginners who own a Digital SLR camera and want to maximise its potential.

Held in the evenings and based in a classroom environment, this course includes three sessions which run over three weeks.
As well as learning theory, participants will undertake practical sessions both indoors and outdoors and will be set small practical assignments in between each session.

Each participant on the DSLR course will learn how to fully operate their Digital camera as well as understand the fundamentals of photography, such as how to make correct exposures and understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO.

Students will also be asked bring along an image of their choice, which will be shown at the beginning of the course and re-visited and deconstructed at the end.
