Digital Compact Skills
Digital cameras can be difficult to get to grips with! This course will help you get the most from your camera regardless of your level of ability.
The course does not focus just on camera settings, but also on what makes a good photograph and how to achieve this. We also focus on how to download images from your camera and basic editing on a computer.
Please Note: If you have a compact camera with DSLR type functions and are unsure which course to go on, then please give us a call and we will happily help you decide!

Beginner Digital SLR Skills
It’s all too easy to be mystified by the amount of controls and technology crammed in to a DSLR camera but although the camera is a result of very ingenious technology it can’t do everything on its own.
On our beginner course you will learn that the DSLR is just like any other piece of equipment, and once you have learnt what it can do, you will be able to take control of your camera and tell it what to do.
You will enjoy an intensive but jargon free day aimed at amateurs at a real beginners or novice level; a relaxed environment with easy to pick up techniques which is open for everyone to attend.
You will have the choice at this level to attend either a Nikon, Canon or Sony specific course which will also cover the features and benefits of that particular brand of camera or our generic course which is open to those with different makes of DSLR cameras.

Intermediate Digital SLR Skills
If you have been on the Beginners' Digital SLR course and want to make the next step in getting to know your camera and taking even more control over your picture-taking, then these courses are for you. Or perhaps you haven't yet tried one of our courses and are already familiar with the basic functions of your SLR camera but have not explored some of the slightly more advanced features.
Like the Beginners' course, you can choose either the generic DLSR for Intermediates or brand specific to Canon & Nikon.
