Latest News and course updates
Hello.
Well this is it. The final night of the course. Q and A tonight. Bring your questions about everything and anything from the course you would like more information or clarification on. There may also be some time for more videos.
I've uploaded a new resource listing websites and other online resources you may like to visit. These are some of the sites I regularly visit myself.
I'll be preparing for the new courses in January so some time before Christmas all the handouts and resources will come down for review and updating. They will go back up again as the new courses start with a new passcode. If you need to download the handouts again for any reason please email me and I'll give you the new code.
See you all later.
About the Course
This is how Paul Strand (1890-1976) defined the art of photography.
"…how you build a picture, what a picture consists of, how shapes are related to each other, how spaces are filled, how the whole thing must have unity."
For me this is about the best definition of composition I've come across and we'll be looking at the 'things' that make up composition as we go through the course. We'll also cover camera controls and settings, exposure and focus and much more. There is also sessions on capturing, managing and manipulating images.
