Beginners DSLR Photography Course

Great photography experience

This photography course normally runs from 10.00am to 2.00pm with a short coffee break halfway through.

During the beginners DSLR photography course you will learn:

• Metering – the most important function of your camera
• ISO – photo sensitivity explained in clear, jargon free terms
• White balance – how to avoid unpleasant blue and yellow casts in your photography
• Focus – an introduction to this elusive and deceptively tricky area of photography
• Programmes – the main programmes explained from the ground up
• Lenses – an in depth exploration, and how camera lenses can help add more creative control to your digital photography
• f-stops – how to get the desired exposure using a combination of shutter speeds and f/stops

Our beginners DSLR photography course not only explains the basic science and nature of photography, but also introduces lots of hands-on practice sessions during which you will learn how to control and combine all different camera functions creatively.

• how to compose great shots
• how to capture sport and action on your camera
• best way to photograph people, objects and landscapes.

I have had my DSLR camera for a year and haven’t been able to use it to its full potential – this course will keep me out off the auto setting for good! Excellent job distilling very technical info into easy to understand / remember components.

I signed up for the half day beginners course cause I needed to get an intro into how photography works. Creative hands on activities were very useful and the course met my expectations and more. Now feel confident enough to turn off the auto setting! Would definitely recommend!
