Course Overview

Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced amateur, whether you have a compact camera or DSLR your photography will benefit significantly from this course.

Over the two modules, we take you through a carefully
thought out sequence involving clear illustrations of principles and unique images to highlight each point….

How the digital camera works – photographic techniques – helping you appreciate how camera features can assist you – this leads into what camera to consider when buying/upgrading – and, should you upgrade?

Now that you have a good understanding of what your camera can do, we move on to composition – how to take pictures rather than snapshots – again, each point is illustrated with sample images. This is a crucial section, and so, it is split over both modules as there is a lot to absorb!

Now that you have your photographs in your camera – what to do with them?

We go through how to move your files to your computer, how to organize your files, how to back them up, how to find photographs easily.

Now that you have your photographs beautifully organized on your computer we go through how you can do basic enhancing – if necessary! Straighten horizons, crop pictures, brighten/darken pictures, improve contrast etc – all done using Picasa, a free software programme, which provides a wonderful introduction to the world of digital enhancement.
Again, everything is covered visually with examples to illustrate exactly what we are doing.

Now that your photographs are all picture perfect, we finish off with examples of how you can make the best use of them - digital frames, slide shows, prints, posters, e-mail, the web, albums etc etc
