Course Travel & Street
URBAN LANDSCAPES- Growing in popularity urban photography takes in architecture, cityscapes, art (graffiti included), and street photography. Starting at the Leeds Dock 'the creative waterside village' we'll make our way towards the city centre with opportunities to capture all the quirkiness the city has to offer. The session consists of an Online group training session, in-person group Photowalk and online one-to-one photo review. You'll learn all about settings, composition and exposure to create dramatic urban photographs. A tripod isn't essential, being able to freely move around, lie on your tummy to get those amazing angles is better. To prepare you for the day we hold a Zoom Presentation a few days before (usually the Wednesday around 6.30pm). The Zoom session is recorded for those who can't make it and for anyone who wants a refresher before we meet. We will then meet up at Leeds Dock for the practical part of the workshop which will be about 3 and a half hours starting at 9am. Finally, everyone will have the option of sending me some of their pictures from the day and have a personal photo review over Zoom. Previous Experience: To get the most from this workshop, you should have attended ourbeginner's photography courseor be familiar with the use of Aperture Priority, Exposure Compensation and ISO.
