** STOP PRESS ** New course just announced, details at the end of the blog, together with saving voucher.
On Sunday I hosted my first photography training course called ‘Taking Better Pictures’, an introduction to DSLR photography for six people at Knockderry Country House Hotel in Cove, Helensburgh.
My thanks go to Wilson, Gordon, Jen, Di, Stuart and Rachael who took part, especially Rachael who came all the way from Kendal in the Lake
District!
Through the day I taught them how to take control of their cameras, to be more creative and to take
better pictures. By the end of the morning all were successfully using them on full
manual mode and had a good understanding of how to work with
different natural light and to set their cameras for different situations.
Using the amazing training facilities and
loch-side grounds of Knockderry Country House Hotel we were able to mix
classroom style learning with plenty of hands on practical skills. Knockderry famous for a high quality of
food provided a beautiful lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
In the afternoon, armed with new skills the
group went to the beach and then to nearby gardens to put to use their
knowledge to capture a series of stunning images to take away.
By the end of the day each delegate went
away with confidence about how to get the best out of their camera. They also
each got a copy of the presentation and an invitation to a Facebook group where
they can share future pictures and projects.
Here are some of the quotes from the
feedback forms completed at the end of the course:
“Gave me confidence to go out and use my
camera to a better level”
“Easy to understand Paul, very informative
and approachable for questions”
“Course at right level, plenty of
opportunity to take pictures”
“Clear easy to understand guidance”
“First class instruction”
All delegates rated the course itself and
Knockderry Hotel as its location as Excellent and all would recommend it to a
friend.
The next course is in October, timed to get some stunning Autumnal colours. Save 10% by booking before the end of May, use the Promotional Code: Saver.
