SUMMARY:Improving / Advanced Workshop 15-07-26
DESCRIPTION:Improving/Advanced Workshop \nLocation: Glasgow \nThis workshop is designed for people who have knowledge of photography and know how to do the basics of wildlife photography. It is also intended for people that have a good understanding of their cameras and are already taking good images\, but want to take their photography to a higher level. \nThroughout the workshop we will look at and discuss what makes a good image. We will talk about the basics of composition but when we should look to do something different\, we will also look at how we can use the environment to add impact to our images and how backgrounds can make or break an image. We will spend a lot of time looking at different types and angles of light and how to maximise the lighting conditions that we have to truly change the way an image can look. \nWe will also look for specific behaviours and will focus on capturing action shots of the birds in flight and interacting with each other. I will be on hand to explain basic behaviour of our subjects and the signs that you need to look for to capture dramatic behaviour shots. \nWe will also focus on wildlife portraits and how to take snapshots of birds to the next level. \nThe focus of the workshop is on capturing images of common species in a different way\, so we will be photographing swans\, ducks and other water birds. \nThe great thing about this location is that there are numerous different subjects that we can get quite close to and it gives us lots of opportunities to try different things and experiment. The light at this location is also very good. \nBy the end of this workshop you will have a better idea of how a few small tweaks can completely transform your wildlife photography. \nCourse Contents\n• What makes a good image\n• Mastering the Angles of Light\n• Photographing behaviour\n• Photographing Portraits\n• Slow Shutter Speeds\n• Mastering Settings

SUMMARY:Wildlife Photography for Beginners 16-07-26
DESCRIPTION:Beginners Wildlife Photography Workshop \nLocation: Glasgow \nMy popular beginner’s wildlife photography workshop is designed for people who are new to wildlife photography and for those people who just want to understand how their camera works and how they can maximise the equipment that they have to get better images. \nMany people have attended this workshop with NO photography knowledge and often attendees have basic camera equipment. \nThroughout the beginners wildlife photography workshop I will set your camera up with you to ensure that you are simplifying the camera settings as much as possible and making you comfortable with adjusting minimum settings to get maximum results. \nThe focus of the workshop is on capturing images of common species in a different way\, so we will be photographing swans\, ducks and other water birds. I will also explain a little about the behaviour of the birds so that you can look for specific shots. \nBy the end of the workshop you will be confident in using your camera and adjusting settings to achieve the results that you want. \nCourse Contents\n• Camera Set Up\n• Understanding Exposure\n• Focus Modes\n• White Balance\n• Composition\n• Exposure Compensation
