Introduction to Photography - Part 3 - Manual Mode & Composition
Nottingham
Nottingham Studio - Maximum of 4 Students. If you're looking to master the manual mode on your camera and develop your composition skills, then this is the workshop for you! This is a relaxed, day long workshop based at the Nottingham Studio, five minutes from the M1 and within walking distance of Wollaton Park. We banish jargon and explain in plain english how to use manual mode like a pro and take your photos from great to spectacular simply by deploying your secret weapon, which is composition. Mastering manual on your camera will allow you to shoot landscapes with filters, create landscapes with 'smooth water' or moving clouds, photograph fireworks, light trails and images at night. A strong command of composition will put you head and shoulders above the rest and will transform an ordinary image into something that you'd be proud to put on your wall. Read More
