As the following would make excellent gifts we are offering them earlier so that they can be purchased in time for Christmas.

Digital Photography Workshop for leisure photographers which includes in-depth Photoshop tutorials.

Popular with both corporate and individual customers.

The inspirational nature of the stunning scenery around here is a great help in achieving excellent results from students.

3 Day digital photography workshop:

If you have not advanced from auto mode and feel that you could do so much better this course helps you to take control of your photography by showing you how your camera works and which features to use to get better photos in a variety of situations. How to set an aperture to take control of your images.

All workshops begin with a tutorial which will go over the various features of your camera most importantly by setting an appropriate Aperture you will be able to achieve professional-looking photos.

We will introduce you to composition, what makes a good photo instead of a 'snap', what to leave in and most importantly what to leave out.

The above will be followed by practical sessions. You will have the opportunity of taking various types of photos with your tutor on hand to offer advice.

Late afternoons and evenings you will can review and discuss your work as a group.

Day two will include a talk from one of our talented local photographers. Learn how he achieved his own unique style.

Towards the end of the workshop you will learn how to adjust, edit and enhance you work. Using Photoshop Elements manipulate your images to your own style.
