Shoot day. The course will start with a session on what makes a good image and how to use your equipment to achieve it. For the rest of the day we'll be out shooting and putting the lessons learned into practice photographing a range of subjects.

Day 2

Review and edit images. Delegates will prepare and sort through their images taken on Day 1 for the digital imaging and output on Day 3. This day will help you to select your best images and work out how you could have made them better at the time you took them.

Day 3

Digital imaging. learn how to use manipulate your images and output them for print and web. We'll take you through the last but very important stage of photography, showing you how to minimise the time spent staring at a computer screen by guiding you through the image manipulation process using sound techniques that will get the best out of your images rather than damaging them.
