There fantastic pieces of equipment with a multitude of functions and settings.  But you can find yourself confronted with  technology overload. This is why most of us leave this fantastic piece of equipment in full auto mode.This will produce good images,

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CREATIVITY OF THE USER.
Even the phone and tablet will get you good images.  No "Camera Training"needed .
Being able to capture those magnificent sunset, those lovely wispy clouds. That fantastic street scene or produce that frothy appearance in that running stream. You grab your camera look at all the knobs and buttons.  Or dive into the menu and you end up with a panic attack.  Where do I start!

Camera Training will help you understand your camera and its functions

What they do and how they interact with one an other will have you operating that camera like a pro.  We can help with this process by you taking one of our personalised "Camera Training" sessions.

Digital SLR's are fantastic pieces of equipment, they have numerous functions.  More than most of use actually need.  Getting to know the basic. In simple terminology, will go a long way to understanding how the camera functions.  What we do is give you the confidence and know how to get the best from your DSLR.

Doesn't matter at what level we enter photography with a DSLR.  Sooner or later we will need a bit of "Camera Training". That is even so with professionals we may have years of experience. But with technology changing so rapidly we need to continually refresh ourselves to keep up our skill levels.

Any "Camera Training" is an investment, Just think of it like this. You finally have the time to indulge you passion, you've booked this great overseas holiday. Fantastic locations ,spectacular scenery, interesting people. How are you going to set up your camera to produce the best results?

Camera Training

The question is DO I NEED IT, well I really think that most of us need some sort of training these days. Especially when confronted with todays technology and this is not only cameras. Camera Training combined with PRACTICE.  Having any sort of training can be a waste of time and money if its not re-enforced with practice.

I hear this quite often " I don't have the time ,I am to busy" yet you've spent a goodly sum of money pursuing your passion.  Taking a "Camera Training" session will sent you on the way to creating better images. One of the main things to do is get used to "fiddle with the camera" just like kids play with there electronic devices. Try different settings, look at a variety of options to get the same result in an exposure.

All this can be done sitting in the lounge, out on the back porch. After the kids have gone to sleep. It only takes a few minutes to keep your mind refreshed. Then when you get the chance to get out and about. Knobs buttons and settings slowly become easier to use because you have a better understand of their functions.

Camera Training How did it help me

I have been using a camera for numerous years as an amateur and as a professional. Transition for me to digital only happened 11 years ago, so in those early years I also undertook a certain amount of Camera Training.  But my training was done by using my peers in the industry.  The basics of how to get a good exposure doesn't change.  Wether it be film or digital.  So for me it was more learning the function, and how to navigate my way through the massive menus.

In my professional career as a photographer I have undertaken a great variety of training courses to perfect my skills. As most of you would know, taking a great image is only the start of the creative process.  Living in the digital era allows us a huge amount of flexibility. In how we present our final product wether it is on electronic media or print .We are so fortunate in with digital photography.  it also allows us to be an artist with or images.  And in this manner create fantastic works of art.
