Here are the dates of the next digital photography courses we have planned in the Derbyshire Peak District and around Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the East Midlands in the next few months. They are all one day courses, led by a professional photographer with over 40 years’ experience. He also has extensive local knowledge of the Peak District and its surroundings.
You can read what some of our hundreds of clients have said about our courses here on Google.
Our beginners level courses assume no prior knowledge of photography – so they are ideal for people who have just bought their first dedicated camera – or who have only been using their camera in “auto” mode and would like to learn how to use it to its full potential.
Our intermediate level landscape photography courses are held outdoors in Peak District locations chosen to be looking at their best at the particular time of year. These courses are designed for people who already know how to use their cameras in other than the “auto” or “scene” modes, and who want help to develop their skills while immersing themselves in their photography for a whole day. They are the natural next step up for people who have already been on a beginners’ level course.

We are also able to offer bespoke one to one training in Derbyshire, the Peak District, Sheffield and the East Midlands.
These courses require no prior knowledge of photography – so they are ideal for people who have just bought their first dedicated camera (and have only previously used a smartphone to take photos), as well as those who have only been using their camera in “auto” mode and would like to learn how to use it to its full potential. The courses are not just for owners of interchangeable-lens mirrorless or digital slrs, but are equally suitable for any type of digital stills camera provided it can be used in other than “all-auto” or “scene” modes – whether it is a compact “point and shoot” camera, travelzoom, bridge, mirrorless, or dslr.
