Fancy Getting Started With Photography? These fun and informative classes take place at a modern training centre set in a farm lodge with the Knowsley animal park in Merseyside, providing plenty of interesting subject matter for you to snap.
Class numbers for those wanting to get started and learn how to take good photographs are kept to just six, so each budding photographer gets one on one time with the expert tutor who runs the session. After learning some basic techniques in the centre, you will head out to the woods, parklands and enclosures of the animal centre to put straight into practice what you've learned.
These getting started with photography workshops are ideal for anyone new to photography who has little or no experience. You are welcome to bring along your own camera gear and bring in some of your recent pictures for constructive criticism from the experts so you can improve and enhance your compositions.
