The course is intended to give an overview of how to use the functions and features of a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera to your creative advantage. Topics covered include aperture; shutter speeds; ISO; lenses; Depth of field; perspective; exposure; composition; on camera flash and focussing. You will be able to use these functions to better create the aesthetic effect you want, rather than rely on the camera's automatic function deciding what your photo will look like. Please note:- If you are storing any data/images on transferrable data devices (memory sticks, portable hard drives, etc), please make sure that you have back-up files saved elsewhere and when removing devices have followed the 'safely removing hardware' guidelines on the PC. This course has been extended by one week to allow more time for practical work., , , , The course is aimed at those who have had limited experience of photography, but are serious in wanting to learn how to take control of a digital SLR camera themselves to get what they want in a picture. It is ideal for those who want to become more creative or technically accurate with their photography and for those who need to create and modify photographic images. Any experience of photography or software similar to Photoshop Elements will be useful, but not necessary.
