Beginner's Photography Courses £135 Book Below Choose a Photography Course

Digital Photography CoursesThese One Day Digital SLR Photography Courses are limited to six students and will suit anyone from the complete beginner to the intermediate DSLR photographer.

Many novice photographers tend to use their expensive Digital SLR Camera on the fully auto setting and are often unimpressed by the average results this achieves. If you intend to use your camera like this you may as well stick with a compact camera. These One Day Photography Courses will explain in simple terms when to use all the other settings and we'll show you how to take stunning photographs you will be proud to hang on your wall.

Camera Course Suitable for the Complete Beginner Choose a Photography Course

All our Digital SLR photography courses start off with the absolute basics and progress, 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.

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.

Hybrid or Bridge Photography Course

Most courses are mainly intended for Digital SLR users but we do sometimes get asked if Bridge or Hybrid cameras users can attend the Digital SLR photography courses. The proviso is that some of the more technical aspects of Digital SLR photography might not apply to the bridge camera but you will still find the course beneficial and enjoyable. If you are happy to accept these conditions below then you are welcome to attend. You will be informed during the course of any items do not apply to your bridge camera.

Is this photography course suitable for you?

1. If you want to understand the setting and the more technical aspects of your camera, as well as learning how to take better photographs, then you will be OK on the DSLR course. The proviso is that a few aspects of the DSLR will not apply to your camera, removable lenses etc.

2. If you really just want to take better pictures without getting too technical then please attend a compact camera photography course. This was the previous method. See here.

Student Testimonials

A really wonderful photography course with excellent one to one tuition. I feel much more confident using my camera & I'm very pleased with all my photographs.

Many Thanks
Karen Kirk

 

This course covered much more than I expected but it wasn't rushed. Glen has a relaxed teaching style and if your not sure about anything he's patient and happy to re-track until you understand.

Tommy Needham

"Glen was very patient and nice to spend the day with. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant day and thanks to Jacqui for lunch." Greta Powell."I found this course thoroughly enjoyable and educating. I wasn't overwhelmed with technical jargon but Glen also didn't try to teach me to suck eggs. After some more practice with my new found skills I will booking on a more specialist course."
Kate Roberts

"I enjoyed this course very much and it was very well presented in lovely surroundings. I feel a lot more confident now."
Malc Mott.

Excellent Course with very easy instruction followed by practical experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and I will certainly be coming back for some one to one tuition. Kev Swain

Very enjoyable course with a good mix of theory and practical. It has increased my confidence in using my camera more than I would have thought possible in one day. Owen Rees

A very informative course which was well worth the time and cost. As the were only six on the course it almost felt like one to one teaching. I look forward to creating better pictures and I'm hoping to attend a more specialist course in the future. - Allan Crowson

This camera course made everything simple to understand and it makes you want to take the camera with you everywhere. I will look at landscape scenes from a totally different perspective now.

This Photography course offered the perfect mix of theory and practical photography. It's a brilliant way to learn how to take perfect pictures. I would definitely recommend any amateurs wanting to learn how to use their cameras properly.
Tom Pugh

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and after four years of owning a digital camera I've learned more in one day than I had in the previous four years put together. At last I understand what I'm doing and I look forward to taking much better photographs.
Derek Welsh

A fantastic day. I've learnt so much. Thank you Glen. I'll definitely be returning to do other courses as you explain everything in such a clear way. Really enjoyable. I really enjoyed the lunch too.
Suzanne Hack

Thoroughly enjoyable course with good slides which will help as an aid to going forward. Glen is obviously very knowledgeable but also patient and not at all patronising. Fantastic, friendly and easy to understand. Hopefully with practice I can put all these new skills and tips to work. The group size was perfect and thanks to Jacqui for a great lunch.

A really enjoyable day. I didn't know my camera could do so much. Glen explained everything in an easy to understand manner and I would recommend anybody to attend one of Glen's courses.

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

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

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 tutor. A good hands on approach with plenty of practice time. James Wilton

Excellent photography course which covered everything I wanted to know in an easy, relaxed environment. Very encouraging feedback. Susan Braun
