Our group was fortunate to obtain funding for a two day course on Digital Photography, taught by Rob Burns, who, with his partner, runs a Photographic Business ( Weddings etc.).
Most of us are very new to using digital cameras, and had very conservatively been using Automatic Modes. It was interesting to be introduced to other modes, and to learn the settings for Exposure Values, including Apertures, Sensitivity and Speed, and to realise how they related to Depth of field.
We spent some time making practical use of our cameras, and Rob was able to show us how to down load our pictures to a suitable Graphics manipulation programme. Picasa is one the ones available for free, and we were shown simpler manipulations such as cropping and colour enhancement. there are other Programmes which allow considerably more advanced enhancement.
We all enjoyed the course and the lively and amusing way in which it was presented.
