.. | Digital Photography Courses have teamed up with The Studio 17 to allow you to use your camera and their professional photographic studio to take professional quality photographs of your children on June 25thBook Now to take your own family portraits for just £99This is a very special opportunity to take professional quality photographs of your children for a fraction of the cost involved in having similar pictures taken by an expensive studio photography company. Digital Photography Courses have teamed up with The Studio 17 to allow you to use your camera and their pro photographic studio and lighting.

You will still have all your images on your memory card which you can make into a DVD slide show or print at home or at a commercial printers. |
Extra Intermediate Course Added on Sunday 14th August 2011
This course starts with a very quick recap on the basic settings and progresses, step by step, through to some of the more technical aspects. Each camera operation or photography lesson is followed by a demonstration then a practical session. This course includes about twice the hands on practical photography time of the beginner's course.
Learn to use your camera on Full Manual Control
We will be mainly using the camera on the full manual setting so you gain a really good understanding of how the various aperture and shutter speed combinations effect your picture and how to visualise the picture before you take the shot.
After the camera and outdoor practical photography sessions we review the images and offer constructive feedback. This is followed by photo-editing tutorial where we will show you how to get the very best from your your photographs.

| .... | This month’s project: Animal MagicProduce a high contrast Black & White photograph of an animal in Picasa (or Photoshop)and upload it to the Digital Photography Courses Facebook Group. This months exercise was inspired by Mark Lewis's Safari Park picture of a Zebra. The originals were taken in colour but it prompted me to produce this months project. Anyone who has been on one of our photography courses knows what a great fan I am of the free Picasa photo-editing program. One of the things it does very well is convert image to monochrome.

Pictures by Caroline Hart
Excellent day! Caroline Hart
The flexibility of the personal tutoring in small groups is perfect for the course and sets it aside from other more classroom based courses. Steve Babbs
This course was paid for with my 50th birthday money and it has been one of the best birthday presents ever. I have had such a good day. Nancy Hudson
A good balance of theory, practical photography, hands on demonstrations, advice and direct instructions. The demonstration of Picasa was a big plus. Joanna Colvin
Photography Course Photographs for May 2011 Very good. A well balanced photography course with the practical sessions and picture review being very useful. Liz Genever
Thoroughly enjoyable and useful day - lots of practising now required so it becomes instinctive to alter settings. Please can you thank your wife for the splendid grub - should have said my thank you's yesterday but my head was full of new knowledge and I forgot - most rude. Pictures by Ali Blackmore - Note from Glen *not rude at all- pleased you enjoyed the course and the food. We aim to please ;-)
Almost too much content! However and I hope to use this bridge camera to its full potential now which is just what I wanted. I suspect I might be buying a DSLR before long. Mary Tyler
A very good course for the DSLR which shows what you can achieve without using the Auto setting. I've learned more today than by reading the manual over the last year. Peter Hapgood
Excellent photography course which covered everything I wanted to know in an easy, relaxed environment. Very encouraging feedback. Susan Braun
Very practical course which demystified a lot of settings of my flashgun but also demonstrated good use of window light. Tony Meakin
This course gave me the best portraits I have taken so far and the confidence to use my new camera. Bill Brooke
Worth every penny. Dayo Alabi.
Excellent tutor. A good hands on approach with plenty of practice time. James Wilton
