Description
A photography workshop geared to giving you greater control of your DSLR camera
Are you ready to take the next step and develop some great skills with your camera?
Or perhaps you have just purchased your camera, and want to get it right, from the start.
Are you keen to take amazing shots, but aren’t quite sure how to put all of those functions to their best use?
Perhaps you’re thinking about buying more gear – but you are hesitant in case it isn’t really what you need?
Join Rick for a ‘Get Camera Confident” workshop and get to know your camera – and what it can do. Learn the principles that underlie all great photography, and understand how to turn this into a system you can apply to ANY shot.
This course will NOT make you a master in a day….but it will answer your questions and get you on the way to exploring your camera’s potential with greater confidence.
With a small group, personalised approach, you’ll have fun and learn lots!
