A Brief Introduction:
This course is designed for those who have either completed the Introductory Course or are at a reasonably competent level of Digital Photography knowledge, and wish to advance their camera and photo taking skills beyond good ‘snap shots’.
Designed to get you out of ‘Auto’ and ‘Program’, we essentially look at the ‘A’, ‘S’ and ‘M’ settings of a DSLR + More.... This allows you the scope to further your creative skills.
