A relaxed three-hour camera confidence and photography practice session in Leeds, designed specifically for photographers who have previously completed Get Off Auto – Part 1.
We'll start with a quick refresher of the key Part 1 skills before getting the cameras out and working through a series of practical photography challenges.
You'll practise making your own decisions about aperture, shutter speed and ISO, checking your results and working out what you need to change. We'll also introduce photographing movement, including freezing action and deliberately showing movement.
This isn't another day of theory. It's a chance to practise what you've already learned, build confidence with your camera and get help from Kate whenever you need it.
With a maximum of just four photographers, there'll be plenty of individual support. We'll use the studio and garden where the weather allows.
Skill level: You must have previously completed Get Off Auto – Part 1.
