COMPOSITION - HOW TO SEE & COMPOSE GREAT iMAGES

These are skills that anyone can learn - you don't have to have any special artistic talent, just apply the basic rules and if you already have a good eye for an image, we'll show you how you can become even more creative.
This workshop explains how you can use various features of your camera to influence your final image and how to 'see' the image before you set up your camera.
You will have two practical photography sessions and an opportunity to review your images.

Reviews
Just to say many thanks for your expert tuition and advice again today; it's very re-assuring to have someone as experienced and passionate about a subject as you are.

Thank you very much for the course today. I especially liked the fact that it was approached in a non-threatening way. I felt at ease and able to ask what could have been very obvious questions to some people. I am now looking forward to applying all the rules, hints and tips on my next photography outing!
I have also attached a photo. Having looked at a lot of my photos I wish I could go back with my new knowledge and try again!!!

I thought I would just send you an email to let you know how much I enjoyed and learnt on the architecture workshop at Calke Abbey on Saturday. I've now attend 3 of your workshops, getting to know your SLR, composition and architecture, I have found all the courses enjoyable and informative with a very friendly atmosphere. I feel the structure of the day works well and I especially like the critique of photos at the end of the day and I always feel I've made an improvement. I now just have to get in some practice and start looking at which workshop I want to do next.
