Teaching you how to fully control your images for correct exposure and some artistic expression and flare! We'll be starting out by looking at what your camera can do, and how you can make the camera do some of the work for you, while you still get to create the look you want.
Once we understand the two main settings for artistic expression, we'll talk about the exposure triangle - Aperture, Shutter Speed, and the third item we have been ignoring, ISO.
Once we understand the effect that Aperture and Shutter Speed can have on an image, and how we can use that to create a specific look, we'll add in ISO, and switch out to full manual.

The goal of this class is to teach you how to create the image you're looking for, getting proper exposure, what the main settings on your camera do, how to use those settings to control the image, and hopefully give you the ability and confidence to start shooting in manual mode more often.

Macro Photography is about the little details, from the texture of a single blade of grass, to the layers in a dandelion.

To capture the details we typically get very close, and make small things big, we might use very specialised equipment.

We'll be focusing on the principles of macro photography, techniques we can use, and how to best use equipment you have available, so that when you have a subject like insets and small flying creatureas, you're ready to go!

We will briefly discuss the use of lighting equipment to emphasise and assist macro photography.

Capturing images is only half the work, and far too often we neglect to work on our editing and post processing skills to the same degree as we work on our skills with the camera. This class aims to give you the skills and knowledge to feel confident in photo editing software to create final images that are ready to be printed and displayed or shared on socials.We'll be going over how to import images, what is a preset, the function of the basic panels within Lightroom, how to edit lighting, colour, cropping and levelling, and more advanced techniques like dodging and burning, masking, and most importantly, how to export and save your edited images.I'll send out some test images so we can edit them together, if you have your own images you'd like to ask about please feel free, as always there will be time for questions throughout.
