Four-week DSLR Photography Course: Thursday evenings starting March 22, Craig-y-Nos Country Park
Four-week beginners DSLR Photography Course: "Getting out of Auto: Using a DSLR Camera in Manual Exposure Mode", to be held at The Photography Studio, Craig-y-Nos Country Park, Brecon Road, Pen-y-Cae, Swansea Valley SA9 1GL. Please phone or email the tutor Bob Grainger if you would like to book a place (£20 deposit required to secure a place). Tel: 07850 656765 info@PhotographyCymru.com
Thursday evenings 6-9pm - March 22 and 29, plus April 5 and 12, 2018
Just £40 for the whole course of twelve hours.
No previous knowledge of photography or camera operation required. The course is suitable for people who already own their own DSLR camera or are thinking about buying one, although I do have two DSLR cameras that people could use on the course (if you own a 'bridge' camera, and not actually a DSLR, then please contact me with the make and model, and I will check to see if it's suitable for the course). The course is open to anyone over 14, but 14-18 year olds must be accompanied at all times by an appropriate adult, who may participate fully in the course if they wish, and for free.
Students will be taught, from scratch, how to use the DSLR in Manual Exposure mode, which allows for much more control and for greater creatively, than simply using the camera in an automatic mode. All printed course materials, tea, coffee and biscuits are provided and included in the price.
