Fascinating Photography Courses for Beginners
Are you tired of always cutting grannies head off in family photographs? Why does your favourite pet have evil looking red eyes in every photograph you take? Why do the photographs you take on a beautiful sunny Spanish beach always come back as grey as a wet Tuesday in Strandhill? Why does everyone tell you that your digital camera is simple to use when it remains a complete mystery to you?
Take the mystery out of digital photography and have these questions answered for you by joining the new Introduction to Digital Photography Course commencing on Tuesday 12th March for seven weeks at the Midland College of Photography Templemichael College Longford. The new course is aimed at the absolute beginner photographer who simply wants to learn how to take photographs of special family celebrations or holidays. The course will also provide a useful introduction to photographers who wish to take up photography as a hobby but don’t know where to start.The seven week will explore such subjects as; using camera buttons, landscape, use of light, composition and better head shots.
The course content will be heavily influenced by the specific interests of the students, questions and input from students will be actively encouraged. No previous photographic experience is required and if your ambitions are modest this is the course for you. However this course offers an excellent starting point for beginner photographers who wish to develop their hobby through subsequent, more challenging photography courses that will be offered by the Midland College of Photography.
For photographers who have completed the beginner’s course or who are just a little more confident in their abilities as a photographer there will be a course for improvers.
Digital Photography for Improvers runs for seven weeks starting on Wednesday 13th March at 7.30pm will cater to the needs of the confident beginner and will deal with such topics as: light, medium, aperture, shutter speed, composition and optics. The course is ideal for someone who has learned a little about photography, is beginning to become familiar with the manual settings of their DSLR camera and who might like to study photography at a more serious level at a later date.
Course fee is €100.00 for seven weeks starting Tuesday and Wednesday 12th & 13th of March from 7.30 – 9.30pm in Templemichael Community College numbers are limited and spaces may be reserved by contacting County Longford VEC Adult Education Office at 043 45474 and for further information about the course contact the County Arts Office 086 8517595 also see our website
