What is a Camera Skills workshop?
On this full featured workshop Damien will impart his expert
knowledge in an easy to understand and fun to learn way. During the day
you will have a 2 hour photoshoot and you will be taking pictures of teenage models (aged 15+ years) alongside Damien. No prior knowledge is
needed for this back to basics event, just a passion to learn. You will
be shooting in the woods, under trees, by the lake and in the
ornamental garden. You will learn about light and composition, as well
as a thorough grounding in the technical stuff.
Canon,
Nikon, Sony and Pentax shooters are catered for in this foundation
craft skill training, to put you in control of your camera and open up
greater opportunities for creating wonderful pictures. Damien's back to
basics, no nonsense approach will ensure you have the freedom to make
informed decisions about camera settings.
The
basic controls on any SLR are quite straightforward to use. Getting
your head around the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and
ISO sensitivity is the first step on the road to camera mastery. Once
Damien has explained this special relationship he will then show you
how to apply this knowledge using the camera exposure modes to achieve
the desired effect in the image.
