Overview:Are you puzzled by depth of field? Do blown highlights and wonky horizons spoil your prints? Would you like the opportunity to learn how to produce better pictures with your camera? Would you like to know how to make successful prints? Do you want to take years off your self-portraits? Or inches off your waist? Building on the success of last year's course, Chingford Photographic Society are again running their series of summer workshops. This is your opportunity to get to grips with the basics of your camera, or if you are an experienced user, learn more about composition, which lens for which situation, and how to develop your creativity. The workshops incorporate tutorial information, hands on exercises and further tasks for you to carry out during the week to get you really used to using your camera. If you own a camera – dust if off and come and join us. If you don't, then still come along – we will be able to give simple advice and answer any questions you may have to assist in your choice of camera. Our aim is to take the mystery out of photography. The friendly and flexible approach adopted by all of the society's course presenters means that you will get out of the workshops what you want, not what we think you want. We also cover various simple techniques in ‘Photoshop', where you can learn simple tricks to bring out the best in your photographs. In fact, if there is any area of photography where you want to learn more, do drop us a line before the course commences, as we deliberately leave availability within the schedule to include any aspects of photography you want us to cover. The six evenings, which are on Mondays, will start on 21st July 2025 between 8pm and 10pm. The six evenings are a complete course, and each person who signs up for it would be expected to attend all evenings to fully benefit. The total cost for joining the workshop will be £50. Included in the cost will be all six evenings, one or two weekend outings PLUS full membership of the Society for a period of six months commencing after the final evening. Why not come along and learn at our friendly club in Chingford, Waltham Forest in North East London? Location here or on the ‘MAP' link at the top of the page.
