Camera Basics

TBC - , Venue TBA, Ashby De La Zouch

 

Camera Basics

Not so much a photography training course but a relaxed introductory morning digital cameras and graphics software.  Improve your shots using your digital camera then improve them in Photoshop Elements.

 

We look at how to take great photographs using composistion & lighting with digital cameras then ehancing and improving them using the computer.

 

These photographs are then uploaded onto the camera where different techniques are shown on easy ways to improve their look.  Part of the photography morning looks at producing tweaked images for more impact on personal correspondence, newsletters, self promotion for small business etc.

 

This is an informal, fun morning geared towards the personal users rather than business clients. 

 

*Photoshop Elements is a cutdown version of Photoshop and more popular with home users.

 

Photographs can be viewed on our course media page at  Creative media

 

  *Photoshop Elements is the software of the day but our Adobe Trainer is more than familiar with most image editing software.

 

For anyone interested we also run Photoshop courses and Photoshop Elements courses, which can be viewed at

 Price £35 per person.

Price includes: all refreshments including breakfast snacks, biscuits & drinks during the morning.

*For a group booking of 5 people or more contact us for rates

 

This mornings Camera Basics course is really a fun and friendly way to learn to use your digital camera more effectively.  It is ideal for both home and small business users.

 

Home users will find their photography skills greatly enhanced and be able to improve and manipulate their shots accordingly. For small businesses it could prove a wise investment and save you a fortune on photography fees.  It shows you how to use your camera for promotional shots and help give them drama and emphasis.

 

On this Camera Basics course you will need to bring your own *digital camera and laptop.
