Course description

This course is the logic follow up to our level one version and aimed at beginners who want to move their photography up a level.

Each participant on this digital SLR camera course will learn the full extent of digital photography, such as how to make correct exposures using the histogram and understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter speed & ISO, as well as keeping them synched.

This course will also cover composition and participants will be taught about maximizing the capacity of the lens and utilizing white balance.

The group will learn about different lenses, as well as the differences and benefits of each. You will cover focal length, wide angle and telephoto.

The class will finally discuss image processing and the best options for post production.

Held in the evenings and based in a classroom environment, this course includes three sessions that 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.
