Starting out in photography? Then this three week course will teach you the camera basics right through to creative camera control, powerful image captures, essential workflow and post production principles.
Join our in person photography course run by professional tutors starting first Sunday of every month and learn how to understand and love your camera. Now is the time to find your creativity and master not only the art of producing excellent exposures, but learn how to create well composed and striking images.
Below is a brief breakdown of our sessions. Each session runs for 4 hours consecutively over 3 weeks. There is an option to choose another month if you can't do all three at one time.
Schedule:
Session 1: How to use your digital SLR or mirror-less camera
This workshop demystifies the digital single-lens reflex which is DSLR or mirror-less camera system. As students practice taking digital photographs, you learn how to use all the settings and functions of your camera. Topics include auto white balance, colour space, colour temperature, formatting, correct exposure for digital images, and the advantages of shooting in different file formats. What lenses to choose and why. Participants explore the many camera functions that allow you to quickly problem solve exposures and light.
Session 2: Learn how to take creative control using manual
This session is all about how to use and control your Aperture, Shutter and ISO. Two words: total control. There are no real surprises once you’ve truly mastered manual mode, as you’ll have full control of the three major points of the exposure triangle aperture, shutter speed and ISO. We will also cover how to 'build' a picture from concept to finish. Manual controls allows one more freedom to enhance, manipulate and master applied photographic applications.
Sesson 3: Basic composition
Taking great images is a matter of learning foundation techniques and ‘finding your photographic eye’. In this workshop we discover how to create a well-composed picture and how to communicate its message clearly and effectively. Taking control of the camera is one thing but taking control of your vision is another.
After these three beginner essential sessions you are ready to delve deeper into the world of photography with confidence. These workshops are designed to give you knowledge and some technical knowhow so you can advance into some of very creative areas of photography. The Aperture Club help you develope ideas and fundamental principles that will allow you to think differently when setting up for your shot. Each week, you'll be given a practical assignment, the results of which will be reviewed by your instructor.
