Photography Workshop Beginners Guide Level 1

Well what can we say, apart from we all truly had a great time this morning out with our cameras, teaching our Beginners Guide into Photography Level 1 workshop. This course is great fun to host and truly enjoyed by those new to photography, as it teaches them not to be scared about using those Auto and Preset settings.

Over the years we have seen way to many people purchasing a new DSLR or Mirrorless camera, to then see that pour camera being left in it’s bag and those new photography thinking they need to jump straight to using Aperture, Shutter and those full Manual settings to get the best out of the camera’s.

Okay so learning these setting is the next step into their photography journey over time, but why struggle in the beginning. Learning all about the Exposure Triangle and how ISO, Aperture and Shutter Priority all have a major impact on each other in the beginning is a lot to get your head around.

So why not just enjoy learning how to capture a photo using Auto and those lovely Presets, which have all been designed to help make your journey into the wonderful world of photography an enjoyable experience and not a headache.

All that techie skill stuff can come later, as you focus more and more on improving your skills as a photographer overtime.

Road Trip to Cornwall

Short break all booked at the last minute, and we find ourselves heading off down the A3 and following the instruction as provided by our SAT NAV, 5hrs later we arrive at our holiday destination Sea Acres Cornwall, ok not the easiest of locations to get to when following your SAT NAT but a nice little park, friendly with all that you need to enjoy a short break away.

The plan for our week away, to capture the following photos, Tin Mine, Small Finishing Harbour, St. Michaels Mount etc

Workshop Trip, Marwell Zoo

So the day had arrived to head off towards Marwell Zoo, as posted on our JustGreatShots Photography Workshops Group on Facebook.

With our camera gear, all packed we heading along the A272 towards Winchester, then following the local signs to Marwell Zoo to meet up with group members for a fun day out taking photos.

The idea of this free workshop was based on members just meeting up, helping each other whilst enjoying the environment and having a fun day

Tipner Shipwreck Walk

Like a lot of other photographers who live in the Hampshire, we drive past this shipwreck and iconic old crane on our daily commute to work along the M275 Portsmouth.

The photography walk began with a group of 11 photographers all meeting up in a car park at Port Solent, before heading off towards this amazing location, strong winds and heavy rain had been forecast, so it was very hit and miss if this walk would take place, but with our cameras at the ready, we started shooting images whilst watching the sun going down over this old shipwreck, ok yes at one point the heavens did open but that didn’t put us off taking photos.
