This comprehensive course for those starting out in photography teaches the fundamentals of digital imaging, of handling light, and the art of composition. It's also the complete course to understand how to get the best out of your DSLR, mirrorless, or compact camera with manual controls.

We focus on practical 'hands on' shooting with an emphasis on camera handling, menu options, JPEG & RAW files, white and colour balance, ISO, focus / exposure modes and pre-sets. Practical workshops over the 15 hours cover types of lighting, rules of composition, candid portraits, lifestyle, food, reflections, architecture, perspective, view point, the basics of editing and more. All taking place in great Hobart locations. As a great bonus this course includes our 755 page Online Beginners Photography Course valued at $490.
