Photography Courses South Midlands

High Wycombe Studio - maximum of 5 students. If you're stuck on the Auto setting on your camera and frustrated because you're not getting the photos that you want, then this is the course for you! A day-long workshop, based in our High Wycombe studio, very close to Hughenden Park and easily accessible from the M40, where we banish jargon and explain in plain English how to take control of your camera and get off the Auto setting. This workshop is both classroom and field based, you'll leave with plenty of useful reference materials.

Maximum group size of 4.

What will I learn:

F-stops- we explain what they are and how to use them creatively to create both that dreamy background blur and to ensure your landscapes all in focus

Focussing- we'll show you how to tell your camera what to focus on to get those elusive shots with pinpoint accuracy

White balance- how to change the colours in your photo if they're not what you see or what you want

Exposure Compensation- learn how to make your photos brighter or darker with no need for editing

Buttons and dials- we'll help you understand what they do, how to change them and how and when to use them so that you have a better understanding of and feel more confident with your camera

Here's what you can expect from the day:

A fun, sociable and educational day, running from 10.30am until 4pm

Tuition from an experienced professional photographer and course notes emailed to you afterwards to support your learning

Both classroom and practical time, so that you get the best of both worlds and get the most from the day no matter what your learning style

A review of images at the end of the day, with lots of opportunities to ask any questions
