Richard will be leading the following courses throughout the coming months. Beginners courses are aimed at those who have been taking photographs for a short time and wish to learn more with regard to composition, understanding light and how to control it and gaining a better knowledge of lens aperture and how this affects depth of field ( perceived sharpness).
Photographers of all standards are welcome on the other courses where the emphasis will be on shooting in top quality locations to suit the prevailing conditions whilst dealing with any technical issues that each individual would like to raise, the most common being accurate metering and correct use of filtration to control the light.
Courses are already starting to fill so please book early to avoid disappointment.
