Beginner Digital Photography
This course is going to show you how to capture those truly beautiful moments forever. This skill can make the walk home from work or the next holiday abroad that little bit more interesting. The course begins by teaching you about each of the command modes found on most DSLR cameras. You will learn about the relationship between Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO and how to use them to get your perfect shot.
Next, the course will then introduce you to the structure of lenses and what different types of lenses are used for. You will also learn about the different types of light and why it needs to be balanced using the white balance function. Using non-technical language, the course will then guide you through Photoshop and Lightroom, showing you how to use these software programs to manage images subtly and create great catalogues.
Images can be inspiring, far more inspiring than text and even speech. But more importantly, taking a cool photo is just good fun! And it really is less complicated than you think, in less than 3 hours this course can show you loads that you never knew. These are skills you can use to enhance any walk you go on for the rest of your life, or even start your career as a professional photographer. So, get beyond the automatic setting on your camera today. The ability to take that perfect shot is just a short journey away.
