Camera CourseOur practical hands on one day Beginner's Digital SLR photography courses are limited to six students* and will suit anyone from the complete beginner to the intermediate Digital SLR photographer. Beware of some lesser camera courses who will happily take up to 40 students, in a lecture theatre, with very little hands on photography. * Occasionally we will take 7 students if two attendees need to attend together and can arrive in one car.

"Glen’s relaxed teaching manner & jargon free explanations must make this one of the best photography courses you can attend. " Dave Kirby

Would this photography course be better for me than going to college evening classes?

Think about this. How many creative, exciting pictures do you think you will take indoors on a winter night in a classroom?

Our simply explained camera handling and photography composition training will help you use your Digital SLR camera to take great pictures in just a few hours. You will learn more in one day on these photography courses than you will in weeks of evening classroom sessions.

Get your camera off the Full Auto Setting

Many novice photographers tend to use their expensive DSLR on the fully auto setting and are often unimpressed by the average results achieved. This one day photography course will demonstrate how and when to use the manual settings and how to take fantastic portrait, landscape or action photographs you would be proud to hang on your wall.

An exceptional course which was excellent value. I now have a much clearer idea of how to use my DSLR in a variety of circumstances which will benefit both my professional & social photography. The training was clear and concise with a good balance between practical photography and theory. Thanks J.D.

I’ve been on some cheaper camera courses than this one, and some more expensive ones, but none came close to being as good as this one. Glen’s relaxed teaching manner and jargon free explanations must make this one of the best photography courses you can attend. The practical photography session, followed by the constructive feedback, was brilliant and the photo-editing demonstration using Picasa was a real bonus. I’ll be downloading that as soon as I get home. 10/10. Many Thanks for an excellent day.
Dave Kirby.
P.S. Thank you to Jacqui for the great lunch too.

This course is superb and refreshes your understanding in the photography basics. I feel inspired to use all the settings on my camera. This is my second course with Glen and I have no doubt it will not be my last. He is a very patient and excellent teacher. Siobhan Kemsley.

An excellent day. It really help to simplify what until now had been a complex subject. I now have the confidence to use to use my DSLR and I can't wait to get out there and start practicing.
Chris Marchant

You are a star! I had a great time and I really feel the course was tailored to my experience and ability. Joanna Preston

I could kick myself for not doing this course sooner. I've learnt so much in such a lot in such a short period of time. No longer will my camera remain the it's bag. Julie Pike

Thanks for a brilliant day of tuition. I loved the balance of activities & how we were taught.You are patient & obviously extremely knowledgeable. The experience definitely enthused me to try out my new skills. I'm sure I will book future course & I'll be recommending you to anyone wishing to learn about digital photography.
Best wishes.
Darrell Whitehead

Hi Glen, I just wanted to say thanks again for the great course, it was worth every penny.
It's a great relief to now know that the expensive camera I have purchased and the new Nikon 18-200 zoom will be now be used correctly & hopefully I will be able to produce some fantastic picture in Borneo. I've recommended you to a lots of people, and I intend to see you for the wildlife courses in the future. Thanks again for superb day.
