Photography - Exploring Your Camera

Learner hours: 5

Through tailored exercises, you will explore key concepts in photography and develop a better understanding of how different types of cameras work. For instance, you will learn how to manually adjust the camera settings so that you can always frame and capture the image you are aiming for, regardless of the shooting conditions (light/weather etc.). You will learn more about your own camera, pick up new skills and develop your existing knowledge about subjects such as:

• Aperture and shutter speed
• How to focus accurately
• Achieving the correct exposure by using Program modes
• White Balance and Colour Temperature
• Image Resolution
• The importance of ISO

Once you have attended this course, our 7 week Lighting and Composition course, is the next platform in your photography education journey.

Mode of delivery: Face to face

Our address is The School of Creative Arts, College Lane Campus, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9AB.

Booking deadlines

Bookings for all Creative Arts Short Courses will be reviewed two weeks before the start date of each course. This will allow the Short Course team to determine whether a course has met the minimum number of students needed for the class to run. If a class has failed to recruit, the class will be re-scheduled and you will be informed. Where relevant you will be offered an alternative class. If the course has met minimum numbers, bookings will stay open to the course start date or until it has met maximum numbers.

We encourage you to book early before the deadline to avoid disappointment.

Bookings for all short courses need to be made online through our online booking system, before a course commences. You cannot enroll or attend a class on the day the course starts, without prior arrangement.
