4 Days Photography Workshop

About this course

This workshop combines introductory and Level 2 photography topics, moving from digital capture and camera settings to composition, perspective, colour temperature and flash. Participants explore resolution, file formats, lenses, focusing, exposure, metering, depth of field, motion and picture styles, then work with aperture and shutter priority, scene modes, white balance and themed photography.
