Outdoors Beginners Photography

Brighton Workshop

Aim


Are you tired of using your camera on auto?

Are you frustrated dialing your camera buttons randomly?

Do you want to fully understand the magic of light in photography?

Or perhaps in the past you used a film camera but you don't know how to go about a digital one?


Then, this intensive 6-hour workshop is for you!


Here, in Bright On Photography's Evaland, I will guide you patiently and literally hold your hand if needed to help you go off-auto in order to use your digital camera in full manual shooting mode.


I will, step by step, demystify the photographic exposure triangle so that you gain the confidence and knowledge you need to start taking control of your camera instead of the camera controlling you.


Are you ready to start your journey into the magic of photography and creative self-expression through your lens?


 

Objectives

 

At the end of the workshop you will be able to:
