Absolutely loved the course, finally I'm starting to get an understanding of how my camera works. Callan presents very well and gave us plenty of opportunities to practice the skills he taught us. 5/5

Description
This relaxed and practical workshop is designed for anyone who wants to gain confidence using their camera's more advanced settings and start taking control of their photography.
In one afternoon we'll cover the basic fundamentals of photography, including how to achieve control over your exposure, focus, and overall photographic result. I'll help you understand your camera, lenses, and available settings that will help., I'll also teach you simple techniques for capturing the shot how you see it, as well as touch upon more advanced techniques to show you what photography is capable of.
More importantly, we'll explain these concepts in a relaxed, casual, fun way that makes sense.
Helping you become comfortable with your camera so you can spend less time worrying about settings and more time focusing on what really makes for a great photograph.
Photography is about much more than camera settings. Once you understand the basics, you can start paying attention to the creative side of photography. Things like lighting, composition, timing, storytelling, and direction.
I'll introduce these concepts throughout the day and show you how they all work together to create stronger images as well as answering any questions at all you may have on any aspect you need help with.
The workshop is held in a beautiful location offering a wide variety of photographic opportunities, making it the perfect place to learn, experiment, and enjoy photography alongside other like-minded people.
Whether you're completely new to photography or simply want to better understand your camera, this day with CameraDad will give you the knowledge and confidence to take the next step in your photographic journey, hopefully forward...to more of my workshops..
FAQs
- I'm a complete beginner and have no idea what I'm doing, Is this course suitable?
Yep! It's perfect. This day is designed for both beginners or more experienced photographers. Beginners get a safe space to ask any question they need to ask while more experienced photographers get a fun day out to meet people and learn a few more tricks.
We'll start with the basics of getting you comfortable exploring photography which will give you all the tools you need to take it further and possibly do any specialised courses in the future. No pressure to learn, just to enjoy!
- What photography equipment do I need to bring?
Whatever camera you have! Film camera, phone, mirrorless, bridging, compact or DSLR,! if it records an image I can show you how to use it.
You'll learn enough about light and composition and storytelling to justify the course even with a fully auto camera.
However.... To get full value from the day I'd recommend any camera with manual control. Preferably with as many interchangeable lenses as you have and a tripod. Id suggest bringing a basic 50mm prime lens or equivalent as well. Bring what you have and are happy to carry and ill show you how tho use it.
- What if the weather is terrible and its raining?
Firstly terrible weather makes for cool shots so its still on...I'll have a few locations in mind and I'll choose one that provides good cover just in case. If it's truly terrible and a danger to travel the course will be rescheduled or refunded.
