The Beginners course is aimed at the complete novice, irrespective of the type of camera you have.

Advanced Camera Course

The advanced course is for those who have a little more than basic experience with photography. It is not a pre-requisite, but you should have a reasonably good idea of what the functions and features of your camera can do, even if you have never used them.

The course is designed to:

Show how to use more advanced camera and shooting techniques
Explain what makes a good photograph
Introduce ‘seeing creatively’
Teach the techniques for taking photographs of children, scenery, sporting events, portraits and shooting in low light or at night.
