Are you new to the world of DSLR photography? Discover the essential techniques for capturing stunning photos in this introductory course, led by locally renowned photographer Simon Fowler.

In this course, you’ll gain a solid foundation in DSLR photography, demystifying camera settings like ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Simon will guide you through the intricacies of the “exposure pyramid,” helping you understand:

• Shutter Speed: Learn how to control motion by adjusting shutter speed settings.
• Aperture: Discover how aperture affects light and depth in your photographs.
• ISO: Master ISO settings to eliminate digital noise.

This course runs on the following dates: 29th April, 13th May, 20th May

We’ll explore the art of balancing these three elements in the exposure triangle, giving you the confidence to select the perfect settings for any shot. Simon will also cover focus techniques for different subjects, from individuals to landscapes, and explain the distinction between RAW and JPEG files.

Join us for hands-on studio demonstrations, where you’ll see how to capture varying levels of movement, control sharpness, and experiment with depth of field. Dive deeper into manual mode shooting in real-world settings, where you’ll learn to pan your camera for dynamic shots.

Discover the benefits of shooting in aperture priority mode and how it simplifies the process. Explore ISO adjustments for low-light situations and gain the skills to create compelling product photos indoors.

Learn essential editing tips and tricks to enhance your images, regardless of your editing software. Simon will emphasize the advantages of working with RAW files and provide insights on noise reduction.

As a bonus, Simon will share his expertise on choosing the right DSLR camera and lenses, providing alternative options and valuable insights to help you make informed decisions.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to master your camera’s settings, shoot in manual mode, and produce professional-level photographs that match your creative vision.
