If you have recently acquired your first digital SLR camera or are struggling to get beyond Auto mode then this course is for you. Perhaps you have upgraded from a digital compact camera or are just starting out in photography and want to learn more to get the most from your hobby.

On this one day workshop you will learn about:

• How a digital SLR camera works
• Choosing the appropriate shooting mode
• Obtaining the correct exposure
• How to use shutter speed, aperture and ISO
• Dealing with white balance
• Composition tips
• Creative focusing
• Mastering depth of field
• Lenses and other equipment
• Camera techniques
• ......and much more

This is not just about learning the facts, we will also show you how to use this knowledge to achieve the shots you want to take. Best of all we will share many tips and tricks for getting the best out of your camera and how to deal with awkward shooting conditions to ensure you still get a great shot.

This course will provide in depth knowledge suitable for use in all photographic genres including landscapes, sports, action, portraits, architecture, etc.

Alongside the theory, the day will also include the opportunity for you to practice what you have learnt with guidance from your tutors. You should therefore bring your camera with you so that you can learn where the relevant controls are on your equipment and understand how to use them.

With a maximum class size of just eight and two tutors there will be the opportunity for one-to-one attention during the practical sessions to ensure that you are getting the most from the day.

The workshop is being held in the picturesque surroundings of Sedgebrook Hall in Northamptonshire and includes a buffet lunch and refreshments throughout the day. The course will commence at 10am and finish around 4pm.

If you are travelling from further afield you can book a hotel room at Sedgebrook Hall to make a weekend of it. Further details about the venue and directions are available from their website.
