smile course

The smile course is designed to help you get away from auto modes on your digital camera, learn at your own speed on a one to one basis (we do cater for couples) and at the end of the session you should be comfortable with using the manual settings on your camera and confident that you are using it to its full potential. Topics covered are camera functions, exposure, the relationship between Aperture and Shutter and top tips for getting the most out of your equipment. The course is run by Stephen James photographer, Stephen is an accredited trainer with over 35 years experience in photography.

 

The course runs for 2 hours on location at Tredegar House South Wales (see map below). This is not a classroom-based course as it's designed to show you the basics of your camera in a practical hands-on approach, although we do discuss the functions of your camera over a coffee.
