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 Bamburgh, 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.
A true icon of Northumberland, Bamburgh Castle overlooks the picturesque village of Bamburgh. The first castle in Bamburgh – a timber stronghold – was built in the sixth century for a king of Northumbria, who made this his capital. The current castle was built by the Normans and extensively restored for Lord Armstrong in the nineteenth century.
On this workshop we’ll spend time in Bamburgh village. We’ll also explore the beautiful coastline nearby, including the quirky lighthouse and the mysterious Stag Rock.
