Photography Courses for 2010

Posted on | December 20, 2009 | 4 Comments

Well 2009 is nearly over and out of all the courses I have run this year, I think only two were without any rain. Good old England eh?

I am planning more courses for 2010 but they are not going to start until spring as I will be moving house early next year and will need to find a new location to run the courses. Along with the standard basics course, as I have lots of requests for them, I will be setting up an intermediate course to cover things in a bit more detail and maybe look at certain areas of photography a bit more specifically. I am also looking once again into running an Adobe Photoshop course. This was always my original plan as Photoshop goes hand in hand with digital photography. This does largely depend on what facilities I can find and what they will charge me, but hopefully I can get something arranged.

Along with my courses, I plan to organise a few more photography walks throughout the year. I enjoy the photo walks a lot as it actually gives me a chance to take some pictures which I haven’t had a lot of time to do lately. There are lots of locations that are easy to get to around the North West, so I’ll be sorting more of them out.

I will be doing some product reviews too. The difficulty in doing a product review is that you need the product to use and test. This can be expensive, but as I have collected a few new bits of equipment over the last few months and will no doubt be collecting some more, I’ll try and review the bits that I think will be of use to other photographers. If companies would like to donate anything for me to test and review, then I’d be more than happy to do so.

I am hoping 2010 is a bigger photography year for me than it was this year, I had high hopes at the beginning of the year, but life just got in the way. With a new location and some new motivation I reckon 2010 will be a lot more photographic.

    Hi,

    I recently bought my first dslr camera and am looking for a short course that will give me the basics about how to get the best out of it, without being too technical.

    Could you let me know if you are planning on running anymore evening courses in Manchester, that you think might be suitable.

    Thanks,
    Chloe

    Hi Chloe, I won’t be running any courses in Manchester but I am trying to set up a course in Northwich, but it’s going a bit slower than I hoped at the moment. I can do one to one courses if you are interested, or if you and a few friends want to do a day, morning or afternoon one weekend then that can be organised to.

    Hi

    I would be really interested in a 1-2-1

    I have spent weeks looking for a course in photography. I have a Canon EOS 500D and I have just bought a 70-300mm zoom lens for it. I am really interested in Macro & wildlife/landscape but just want to get the best from my camera.

    Thanks
    Jo

    Hi Jo, just drop me an email through the contact form. I can arrange 1-2-1 sessions most weekends, it just depends what level you are after and what the good old English weather is going to be doing :-)
