Digital Image Day

Spring 2013, Derbyshire, Makeney Hall Hotel

 

Digital Camera & Photoshop Event

Its now Spring and Derbyshire misty mornings are breath-taking with new life starting to bloom.  Hence our next Digital Image Day is now scheduled for 23rd February 2013.

 

This is a great day out in Derbyshire learning SLR camera skills with a professional photographer and designed for anyone interested in SLR photography then using Photoshop to tweak and improve those photographs.   

 

You learn photography & Photoshop in stunning surroundings with superb food and stimulating company.  Once the SLR photography morning is over we have lunch at the amazing Makeney Hall hotel.  This is followed by an afternoon with the SLR photographs taken in the morning retouching and working with them using Adobe Photoshop software. 

 

*Staying with the Derbyshire (well Staffordshire) tradition of brewing beer we're including 'The Tollgate Brewery' as an optional visit this year.  Should anyone wish to sample a swift half of their brew 'the Hawthorn Bitter' is recommended.  Trust me!  Take a look at the Tollgate here

 

On this event the SLR photographs will be edited in *Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements or Picassa. 

 

*Most image editing software such as GIMP can also be covered on the day but please request the software specifically at the time of booking.

 

These SLR photography courses will be held once a month again this year from February.

 

Please see examples of photography at LPPG Exhibition
