What You'll Learn on Your Course

Each of the topics below will be covered in-depth by Jon, in a class of no more than 14 students,

Learning the fundamental principles of photography (F-Stop, Shutter Speed, ISO) and how they are used in the creative taking of photographs, and how they relate to your specific camera.

Basic rules of composition to create dynamic images.

Depth of field and lens focal length: how they pair together to change aspects of imagery.

Learning how to ‘see’ and use natural light in landscape, portraiture and macro photography.

Beyond the basic image: Black & White photography and learning to see the world without colour.

Post production tips and learning how to finish your images; editing and correcting images in Photoshop, preparing images for email and prints.

Each day’s lesson will be conducted in the early evening. This is to allow for both a holiday and the practical photography lesson to be combined during the day, discovering the beach
and embracing an off-the-beaten- track Jamaica that those
visitors to its West Coast rarely encounter.

Photographs taken whilst on these excursions will be viewed
& discussed by the class before dinner on a wide screen TV
within the gallery.
