SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY

With nearly a decade of experience teaching photography (each, not between us!) we have considerable experience of helping people get to grips with digital photography. As well as providing tuition on a one-to-one or small group basis we run courses and workshops on behalf of other organisations.


Courses

Once again we will be running a couple of courses at the Malham Tarn Field Study Centre. As the name implies this is situated at Malham Tarn, a few miles from the village of Malham in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Details are as follows:


25 - 28 May 2012

"An Introduction to Digital Photography"

This course will run from Friday evening until Monday lunchtime at the Field Study Centre at Malham Tarn. For further details please click here.


10 - 17 August 2012

"Landscape Photography in the Dales"

This course will run at the Field Study Centre at Malham Tarn. For further details please click here.


Tuition

As experts in teaching Digital Photography we can provide tuition in most aspects of the subject. No matter whether you have a Compact Camera or a DSLR we can help you to master the most important controls on your camera and use them effectively to take better photographs. When you have taken your pictures we can show you how to download and organise them and to edit them, using simple but effective techniques to improve and enhance them, or guide you through more advanced work such as using Layers and Adjustment Layers and the delights of RAW.

We are happy to work with individuals or small groups, and all sessions are tailored to the needs and interests of the participants, so why not contact us for a chat or to arrange a date.

Price per person:

1 or 2 people     2hrs - £30     Half day - £40     Full day - £70

3 or 4 people     2hrs - £25     Half day - £35     Full day - £60

5 or 6 people     2hrs - £20     Half day - £30     Full day - £50

If you prefer us to come to you there may also be a charge for travelling expenses.


Digital Photography Roadshows

These vary from short evening talks to a full day and are aimed at clubs and groups. We use a mixture of teaching, demonstration and (where possible) practical work to cover appropriate aspects of digital photography, with the precise content being varied to suit the needs of the group.


DIGITAL CAMERAS

Learn about the most important controls on your camera and how to use them to best effect to take the kind of pictures you really want to get. It doesn't matter whether you have a simple compact camera or a professional-style SLR, it's amazing what a difference it can make once you begin to properly understand how your camera works.


EDITING DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Digital photographs straight from the camera can often be significantly improved with a few simple techniques in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements). From lightening and brightening all or part of a picture to removing unwanted objects or blemishes, there is tremendous satisfaction to be gained from editing your pictures to get the best from them.
