Introduction to Photography - Part 3 - Manual Mode & Composition
Leeds
INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY - PART 3 - ROUNDHAY PARK Bring together all the skills learnt during our earlier courses and move beyond to change the way that you think about your photos in terms of composition. The art of composition is a key element of photography but is often overlooked in favour of the technical side. On this workshop we study all the different elements that work, both individually and together, to create a stunning photograph, including colours, textures, angles and a host of other elements that influence your photos. We also show you how and why to work in full Manual Mode to improve your images further. The presentation part of the workshop will be delivered over Zoom usually Tues or Wed evening before the workshop (recorded if you can't make it), we will then meet up at Roundhay Park from 10.00 am- 1.00pm for the practical part of the workshop on enhancing your photography skills.
