Intense Foundation of Digital Photography – Level 2 is a logic follow on from our Level 1 course. It is aimed at those who already know the basics of digital photography, know how their camera works and who want to step it up a level.

The course is set in a relaxed and professional classroom environment and participants are taught theory which is backed up by a significant location based practical session in the afternoon.

Participants will learn a wide range of topics including exposure in more depth, histograms, maximizing the capability of the lens and utilizing white balance. Image processing and the best options for post production will also be discussed and participants are encouraged to bring in an image for discussion.
