EXPLORE THE FEATURES OF YOUR DIGITAL SLR CAMERA

Using Your Digital SLR Camera

Introduction to SLR Photography

This is a hands-on workshop so you will have the opportunity to take various photographs, using all the key features of your camera.  There will be a maximum of 10 students per tutor.

This day is designed to help you take control of your photography by showing you how your SLR works and which features of your camera to use to get better photos in a variety of situations.   You will discover that your camera is not as complicated to use as it might appear.  (If you already have a good understanding of depth of field and use of Aperture, you may prefer the Digital SLR in Depth workshop).  Following the workshop you will find your user manual much easier to understand too! 
Our aim is to show you how to take photographs that require only minimal adjustments or editing in Photoshop/Elements.
