General Information
This workshop is designed for beginners. All Bridge and DSLR cameras are suitable, however some compact cameras have limited capability for changing settings. If your camera only has Scene Modes, and doesn’t allow you to set the Aperture, Shutter Speed or work on Manual settings, please contact me and supply the make and model and we can tell you if the camera is suitable.
We’ll keep the workshop as jargon-free and straightforward as possible. Every group will be different, and the guide on the Workshop Content page is the minimum that you can expect to learn; if you turn out to be a group of super-learners, you may get some extra content.
A tripod isn’t required.
