Abbey Studios School of Photography

Advanced Digital Photography Workshop

These workshops are aimed at those who feel fairly confident with the main controls of their digital cameras but want to increase their understanding of issues such as depth of field, aperture and shutter speed relationships, file formats, image management and manipulation (a limited amount of time will be spent on this), better composition and exposure control, white balance and so on.

Much of the time will be spent on practical assignment working as weather permits around the Arboretum with as much individual attention from your tutor as is possible. Group sizes will be restricted to 6 to ensure we can give as much attention to each delegate as is needed.

This course will greatly enhance your confidence and understanding enabling you to capture great landscapes not just on the day, but in the future.

Suitable outdoor clothing is recommended. As for equipment, Digital SLR's or Hybrid cameras are suitable for this course. Compact and more simple digital cameras are quite restricitive in their operation and probably would not be suitable. A tripod is essential, plus your camera manual as sometime we need to dig deep into the menu system to change settings!

Dates for these courses are limited and early booking is therefore recommended.

Dates for 2009 are : 30 January, 28 February and 29 April.

Course fee : £95.00 per delegate. Bring your own lunch - tea & coffee provided.
