This course is responding to the huge growth in ownership of digital SLR (DSLR) cameras.

It is designed to take you through the basic science, technology, craft and art of photography, and to develop your knowledge and skills so that you can create technically sound, interesting, professional images.

This course is ideal for the enthusiastic amateur photographer.

You will move away from shooting with the camera in automatic mode, and start using the various camera functions that will enable you to take control of your photographs, creating work that is more personal.

Topics will include:
what is a photograph and why do we take them?
constructed versus captured photography
making images: looking and seeing
composition
exposure
focus
aperture
shutter and shutter speed
subject lighting
digital developing and printing
choosing and buying your equipment
outlets for your finished photograph such as sales or exhibiting.
