This course is for those people who have a digital camera but are uncertain about using it in anything other than the most automatic mode. The course assumes nothing about your skills and aims to demystify and explain what all those things on your camera do. The course is for those with compact type cameras as well as SLR type cameras. The aim is to help you make better use of your digital camera and therefore make better photographs. The course is exclusively camera based and apart from explaining downloading images to a computer does not deal with any manipulations, sizing, or printing using a computer. A separate course Introduction to Photoshop is planned for after the summer. Short projects will be set for those who wish to practise what is taught in class however these are not obligatory, just recommended. If you thought buying a digital camera would improve your photographs and found this not to be the case this course might just resurrect your faith in consumerism!

This course has been designed for those who have already completed our Understanding Your Camera Course or for those who have an understanding of camera controls such as shutter (for camera and subject movement), aperture (for depth of field), lens focal length, flash etc. The course will provide further opportunity to understand these elements of camera control and put them to practical use. The aim is to help people with basic camera understanding make better photographs. The course is based in Oxford city centre at The St Aldates Centre in Pembroke Street. The day will start at 9.30 with a review of the basics. At 11am we start the shoot. In small groups we visit locations in Oxford and under guidance start to make images. Lunch is at 12.30 and during lunch the films will be processed and printed. A slide presentation on composition will take place and at 1.30 the films will be back for assessment and group review with comments and suggestions by the course leaders. At 3 we go out for another shoot, putting into practice lessoned learned from the mornings expedition. Return to base at 4pm for final evaluation. The course fee includes 2 rolls of film and processing and printing for one roll. Lunch, tea and coffee will also be provided. Those using digital slr cameras are not excluded as we will down load their images,
make selections and print the choice.
• The course is £85 per person
