Our next beginners’ level courses after this are being held on the moors near Sheffield on July 18th and August 22nd. You can see full details of those courses here.
Please contact us to request a booking form.
The courses are being held at a private Field Centre in a beautiful rural location in the heart of the Peak District, just a few miles from Bakewell.
Our beginners’ digital photography courses are not just for owners of digital slrs – they are suitable for any digital camera provided it can be used in other than “all-auto” or “scene” modes – whether it is a compact, bridge, mirrorless or dslr. On these one day workshops in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, you will learn solid, practical photographic techniques that will be relevant not only to your current camera, but also any other type of camera you may own in the future.
On these beginners’ level courses, you will learn:
- what the different shooting modes on your camera are, how they work and when to use them
- how to get correct exposure in your photographs by using the right combinations of shutter speeds, lens apertures and ISO
- how to avoid blurred pictures by setting the correct shutter speed
- how to get your camera to focus exactly where you want it to
- get colours in your images the way you want them to look
- how to understand the information your camera gives you both before and after exposures, and how to use it to improve your pictures
You will also be given a printed sheet for your particular make and model of camera, telling you what your camera’s most important controls and menu items are, showing you where to find them, explaining in plain English what they do, and showing you exactly how to set them.

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.
