Because of the long web address of my site I am trying to direct traffic to my photography courses in Sydney at the shorter and lot less typo inclined www.photolessons.com.au

    1 Day Photography Workshop in Sydney

     
Learn camera modes
     

This 1 day workshop starts with the very basics and then takes you to a point where will be confident using your DSLR to its full potential.

We meet at 9am.

Beginning with Exposure Modes you will learn to freeze moving subjects with fast shutter speeds (and how to produce creative blur with slow speeds). I will show you how to throw distracting backgrounds out of focus (and how to keep interesting ones in focus).  

We will have coffee & cake at about 11pm at which time we will have a chat about what equipment you might want to buy.  

You will experiment with shutter speeds and we will do a little "panning".

After a half hour break (consider bringing a packed lunch) we meet up again.

I will show you why and when to change ISO settings, how to improve images with RAW files. Get better colour by choosing the right White Balance.

Other topics covered include; tips for better portraits, understanding perspective, macro and more.

Duration:6hrs Class Size: 10 Max
Cost: $195 (incl. Coffee & Cake break).

Over a period of time I will be moving my site for photography courses in Sydney to www.photolessons.com.au because the current web address is a bit too long and prone to typos! I also have my Sydney courses listed on www.andypiggott.com

I am hoping to organise some workshops outside of Australia and they will be listed on that site when dates have been finalised.

In the meantime I have done a bit of a search on courses and have listed some of them below.

 
 
 

Photography Courses - International

 
 

If you are looking for photography workshops in other countries I have compiled this list of courses around the world. Please note that I have no connection with any of these other photographers and cannot comment on the quality of the courses as I am only going by what the websites say about themselves.

If you have comments about any of these courses please feel free to let me know.
