 BEGINNERS IN DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Passionate about teaching the joys of digital photography especially to the complete beginner.

Our ‘Beginners in Digital Photography’ classes use an approach that is considered to be sensitive to participants needs with the sole purpose of bringing understanding.

 

Our aim is to take camera owners, wherever they are at now and to produce a photographer who can go on to wherever they want to go.

Our courses run for 8 weeks, with one of the sessions being a field trip, and are run and tutored by Amanda Burke LIPF.

Amanda has been a photographer since 1978 gaining a vast diversity of experience and acquiring a wealth of technical and artisitic knowledge in the field.

So whether you have a ‘pocket’ compact camera, an SLR or anything in between, this course offers you exactly what it says it will and gives you more than you expect ! 

And if you are a photographer who wants to be more challenged towards greater things the Beginners  course lays a good foundation for the follow on

‘Improvers Photography Course’.

THE IMPROVERS PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE

This 10 week course can be a follow on from the Beginners in Digital Photography course and to complete the course the students are encouraged to present printed and mounted images on a chosen theme.

 

The Improvers course also held in St Patricks Parish Centre, Loughboy, Kilkenny and tutored by Amanda Burke, covers what a digital SLR or bridge camera owner needs to know so that they can be creative with their photography. Some of the most common issues that face photographers starting out are such things as understanding aperture and shutter speed, metering and how light affects our photographs.

The course also covers advanced aspects of editing the digital image in Photoshop and similar applications in order to maintain quality and to decide how to enhance the original captured photograph where needed or desired.

The course is not just informative but it is also practical and fun. Exhibiting in a public place in Kilkenny at the end of it adds to the enjoyment of being with an enthusiastic group of photographers who usually end up becoming friends.
