Introduction to Digital Photography

An extremely popular course for anyone, of any age. Suitable for first time users to the more advanced film user wanting to take the plunge into digital imagery. The course comprises 4 x 2.5 hour evening classes and a 2.5 hour field trip so you get some practical advice in the field.

There is a maximum of 2 people per class so that YOU get the

most from YOUR camera.

We strongly believe that large classes and/or short course's on digital photography do not work.
