Guildford Photographic Society (GPS) will be running our very successful, annual, Getting to Know Your Camera Workshop on Saturday 24 November 2018.
The workshop, which always receives excellent feedback, is intended for people relatively new to photography or who are ready to move beyond automatic camera settings.
The workshop runs from 10.00am until 4.00pm in Burpham Village Hall Guildford. The cost for non-GPS members is £80.00. Tickets are available from our website http://www.guildfordphotosoc.org.uk (last tab on the home page). There will be a maximum of twelve participants on the workshop to allow adequate time for interaction.
Peter Merry who developed and leads this workshop describes the scope and objectives of the session as follows:
“The manual for my camera runs to over 300 pages and is packed with features for everyone from sports enthusiasts to landscape photographers. With such a wide range of features it’s easy for a camera to seem complex and unwieldy, rather than a simple tool for taking great photographs.
The “Get to know your camera day” aims to give you the understanding you need to take control of your camera so that you can get on and take great photographs. We will be looking at the most important camera features in a way that is easy to grasp and quick to use.
The day is made up of a series of sessions, each including instruction, discussion and photography.
We will look at the main components of the camera, including the sensor, shutter, aperture and lens. We will explore how these can be used to create the composition, exposure, depth of field and sharpness that you want for your images.
We will use a variety of mode settings, from the fully automatic to the fully manual settings (looking at Program, Aperture and Shutter Priority options along the way). We will look at the pros and cons of each and work out which is best for you. We will also discuss the use of jpg/RAW image capture along with white balance, metering modes and exposure compensation.
By the end of the day, I hope you will feel able to take control of your camera to take great photos using decisions you can make quickly, with understanding and confidence.
If time permits we will also have a look getting your images from the camera to your computer and some simple processing tips.”
