Are you a photography beginner looking to unlock the potential of your digital camera? Let two award-winning photographers teach you how to master your camera and empower you with the knowledge to take great photos.
Based in Berwick Upon Tweed, the aim of the workshop is to help you learn how to understand your digital camera. We will look at the various functions available on modern digital cameras with a view of understanding which of these functions are actually important. We will discuss shutter speed, lens aperture, depth of field, ISO, exposure and the histogram.
After this, we will discuss the art of composition, with the aim being to help you understand what actually makes a good photo and how you can improve your own composition skills. Techniques discussed will include the rule of thirds, leading the eye and the use of colour.
Berwick-upon-Tweed is a fascinating town surrounded by a medieval defensive wall, originally built to keep Scottish invaders out. We’ll start this workshop in Berwick, walking around the walls and shooting interesting architectural details along the way, such as L.S. Lowry’s ‘Lion’ house and Berwick Barracks. We’ll then spend the second half of the workshop on Cocklawburn Beach near Berwick. This geologically interesting stretch of coastline is ideal for shooting long exposures of waves washing around the rocks.
Useful information
This photography workshop is intended for absolute beginners with the group size being limited to eight to allow Jason and David to devote ample time throughout the day to every participant.
Although this is an early summer workshop good, warm weather cannot be guaranteed in Northumberland. Wear layers to keep you warm, and bring waterproofs with just in case. You will also need sturdy and comfortable walking shoes or wellies.
