Getting to know your digital camera through a series of practical sessions guiding you through technical basics including shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Once you're familiar with the camera you'll get to grips with the many tricks of Adobe Lightoom to edit, manipulate and manage your images on the computer, for really professional-looking results.What previous students liked most about this course: “Mixture of ‘theoretical’ learning mixed with ‘discovery’ – learning by doing. Leaving the course with one printed picture. I looked forward to the class each week.”|“The equipment provided is impressive.”“Learned a lot. Tutor very good. Nice bunch to learn with.”“An inclusive attitude and atmosphere meant we could all learn at a pace which suited the individual’s needs. Variety of activities (talks / taking photographs / using computer).”“Mix of practical and theoretical. Class discussion – peer review of images.”“Excellent instructor (Michael) and good course group. Has helped to refresh forgotten techniques.”
