You will complete the Beginner Photography Course with a thorough understanding of:
- How you should use your main camera settings, and what your camera's menus, dials and buttons control

- How and when you should use each shooting mode, including shutter priority, aperture priority and manual mode
- Settings so you can freeze or blur motion
- How you can control depth of field and blur the background
- How to compose good photos and enhance your photography
- Use of your camera's autofocus modes so you can select a specific point or track moving objects
- Understanding white balance
- How to control exposure to create more interesting photos and when to use different exposure modes and exposure compensation
- When you should use jpeg & raw image quality settings
I just wanted to say what a wonderful day I had with Steve today. After having read two beginner books about aperture, iso and shutter speed I was still in such a muddle about it all but the penny dropped today and I feel really excited to start taking photos outside of auto mode! Steve explained everything so logically and the practical exercises we did were spot on. I really liked his style, which was relaxed but also his passion for the craft is apparent and clearly the guy knows his stuff. His presentation was excellent with just enough written information on the slides without it being laborious. Thanks for organising such a great course.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course yesterday.
I started the day with no idea how to work a camera and by the end of the day was able to start composing reasonably decent shots.
Thought Steve was a great teacher, very relaxed and was able to explain his points really clearly.
The course starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm.
It starts at Borough Market, and attendees will be emailed with detailed joining instructions.
