Introduction to Photography Day Course

This course is perfect for anyone staring their journey into the realm of photography! I will spend the day delving into the theory of photography,  and how to apply it through your camera’s various manual and semi-manual functions. I will  start at the beginning and set out all the basics in easy to digest modules so no prior knowledge of photography is required to participate in this course. 

What you will need to bring on the course: A bridge or SLR camera is ideal as they have the manual functionality that is essential to getting to grips with the theory, as well as having all the necessary bells and whistles!  Please bring along your camera's manual, a note pad to scribble on and a flash stick to take away the course notes.
