 We will meet at an agreed location and find potential compositions, discussing and practicing the impact of different camera settings, and how these should be applied in different circumstances. 

Equipment needed 

All DSLR, mirrorless, compact or bridge cameras are suitable providing they allow manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Mobile phone cameras can be used, but don’t generally allow much control over these settings so only parts of the course will be relevant.

I will be in touch after booking to agree a convenient meeting time and location.
