This course assumes that participants have some basic skills with their digital cameras (i.e. the stuff covered in Basic Skill for the Beginner above) but you don’t have to have done the beginner course first.   We will look at how to improve your use of your camera – accessories that help, not hinder, light metering and colour balancing.  Principles of composition will be introduced and your sample shots will be reviewed.   We will review lighting suggestions, shoot Black & White,  macro and low light situations.  As well we will cover post processing your photos – using a computer to do photo touch up.  If you have a portable computer please bring it as it is always more fun to do your own “fix’n” rather than watch somebody do it at the front of the room!

Still not too TECHNICAL!  And still no computer degree needed.  However a lot of “advanced technique” involves more understanding of your camera and uses a computer to manipulate what you have shot (even if it is just prep for printing!)
