Course: Photography Made Easy

This course works through the basics of photography starting with parts of a camera and ending with general rules of composition. The duration of this course is approximately 5 hours and takes place in Westville (western suburb of Durban). Alternatively, I can also give the course at a venue of your choice.

The cost of the course is R400 per person, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 people attending. A non-refundable deposit of R100 will secure your place with the balance payable before or on the date of the course.

The full course contents are as follows:

• Overview of camera hardware
• Aperture
• Shutter Speed
• Exposure (including EV's, ISO)
• Metering Modes and the Histogram
• Exposure Compensation
• Depth of Field
• White Balance - The Colour of Light
• Flash Photography
• Shooting Modes (PASM and Scenes)
• Composition

Course notes will be handed out covering all the topics discussed. As well as covering the topics above, the course will be practical in nature with various topics demonstrated and practised using your personal camera.

Course participants must please bring a digital camera (with fully charged batteries) and their camera manual with them. Although many topics covered deal with general digital photography on any digital camera, a few of the more advanced control topics (PASM modes, Depth of Field, etc) require the use of a digital SLR or other advanced digital camera.

The next two courses are scheduled for TBA. Starting time is 8h30. Arrive at 8h00 for a cup of coffee and to meet.
