Course description:
Digital Photography – An opportunity to understand how to get the best pictures, both technically and aesthetically in a relaxed atmosphere – no competition and no pressure!

Tutor Profile:
Carole Niven is an artist and an established professional photographer. She loves passing on her skills and runs weekend courses as well as evening and leisure classes.

“Hertfordshire is a small corner of England offering a wealth of wonderful opportunities for stunning photographs all year round. We are surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK and it is all right here on our doorstep.

It seems that everyone now owns a digital camera but it is often difficult to understand all the functions and settings to get the best pictures. In the course of my daily work I am constantly asked for advice, hints and tips on how best to use a digital camera and I enjoy that 'light bulb' moment when people learn a new technique.

Testimonials:
"Hi Carole, just wanted to thank you so much for the very interesting (and informative) day that I had on Saturday. I look forward to hearing about your other courses so that I can book another day in. I am quite amazed at just how much I did pick up on that day and have enjoyed trying out my various settings on the camera." (Teresa).

"Just to thank you so much for the brilliant weekend course. Such a pleasure to learn in the relaxed atmosphere and to come away with a gift of understanding my camera!" (Jackie)

"Just a short note to thank you for a very pleasant and instructive weekend...we all learnt a great deal and our photographs will show this improvement. From a very satisfied "student"" (Richard)

 Course Outline
Course Outline:
Over 5 weeks, local professional photographer Carole Niven will advise and assist photographers to improve their pictures.

She will set a small photo project each week to be completed independently. In the following session students will bring along their prints and Carole will provide technical and aesthetic hints and tips to solve any problems. At the same time Carole will provide general advice to the group covering subjects including, composition, white balance and use of light.

All abilities will be catered for and anyone who would like to get the best out of their camera and creativity will benefit.

I always think it is such a shame that there are so many images that are downloaded onto computers and that’s where they stay. My aim is that everyone who comes on one of my courses will be proud to have their images printed to display on their walls.”
