Beginners Photography Course-A Passionate Group-ric woods photography

WE had a great group last night for the 3 hour "beginners photography class". Passionate and enquiring,I'm sure we will see some of these faces in more of the classes maree has planned for the end of this year and into 2012. Download the course booklet HERE.

We teach the participant to shoot on MANUAL mode, taking control of their image making and making much better pictures CONSISTENTLY


As you can see from our "subjects" called David and Jenna, learn to "SEE what your Cameras Sees" with practical hands on demonstrations



Here maree is amongst the group( wearing red lips)

Participants reading their Histograms and over exposure warnings




Here I am explaining the exposure meter and histogram graphs


Talking about the 18% grey card explaining why your snow comes out grey on Auto mode.

After our refreshment break we were back to the practical exercises.What are they photographing in such a FRENZY ?


Well its our charming models, David and Jemma. ( below)
Here I have set up a scene in the studio so we can identify, blacks,whites and flesh tones in the camera histogram.Maree took the class through changing shutters speeds and showed them how the over exposure warning flashes when the image is over exposed.

During the 3 hour class we also showed how to get those professional looking portraits by dropping the background out of focus and why we don't use wide Angle lenses for portraiture

We look forward to the next beginners classes coming up on the Thursday night 6-9pm the 22nd Sept 2011 and Saturday the 29th Oct 2011 from 2-5pm
