Group Training for Beginners using Digital SLR and Bridge Cameras
Three Hour introduction – £49 per person. Perfect for beginners
A Group session for up to 8 people covering everything you need to know to move away from Auto settings and get the most from your camera.
The session will cover:
- Basic camera settings;
- ISO,
- Shutter Priority,
- Aperture Priority,
- Metering options
- white balance,
- depth of field,
- use of flash,
- exposure compensation
- Flash exposure compensation.
You’ll learn basic principles of photography, with the emphasis on practical work to help develop and consolidate your learning.
Although we can’t promise to offer personal guidance on the use of your own camera – there are far too many makes and models for us to have detailed knowledge of them all – we will do our best to provide clear advice on main features available on the majority of equipment. Using your own camera, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and apply your learning to the specific features available on your make and model.
Practical work is based around activities within the studio designed to help you gain confidence in how different camera settings affect the final image.
You’ll also receive Handouts from each session along with ongoing support, via email, for 28 days after your workshop.
Groups have a maximum of 8 people, ensuring that you have the fullest opportunity to make the most of your session. All sessions take place in my fully equipped studio.
What you’ll need:
- DSLR or Bridge camera (Compact Camera users may attend but will find some features are limited)
- Charged battery
- An empty memory card (don’t forget to clear any images from it in advance)
- Instruction Manual (Full version is possible)
Please note: In the event numbers being below 6 in the group, we reserve the right to cancel and rearrange the event with a minimum 24 hours notice.
