Special Program

Back to Basics

The committee has been working hard behind the scenes to put together a series of zoom workshops going back to the basics of photography and working forward. The sessions will be moderated by David & Gail with experienced club members conducting the sessions.
 
The aim of this course is to provide our novice members with the knowledge to:
 
1. Improve their photography skills
2. Gain confidence and experience
3. Be confident in the images they take and enter them into club competitions
4. Gain confidence, build skill and learn in a friendly relaxed club environment
5. Learn and improve your image quality, create better images by developing the skills you need.
 
Whilst the course is directed, in particular, to the novice members of our club, any financial member is welcome to join in.
 
Commencing on Wednesday, August 5th, the course will be held every Wednesday fortnight (subject to change depending on the presenter), via Zoom, from 7.30 pm, it will not be a long session somewhere around 30-45 mins, which also allows time for questions. From time to time throughout these sessions, you will be set a task/s to complete, to ensure your understanding of the subjects. 
 
We will be recording the sessions and uploading them for the future use of members only.  See your email for conditions.
