Optional Sunday Workshops

Photography Workshop

We will be learning the basics of advanced photography - considering the effects of the manual modes to change the aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how they affect the light captured by the camera. We will consider basic lighting and have a go at some portrait and landscape photography, with the aim of improving the photos that you take. If you have a camera that will let you change the aperture, shutter speed and ISO that would be helpful to bring but not necessary - we have a DSLR & mirrorless camera and various lenses for you to try out.
