Course details

This course is all about creating clear, minimal images from lines and forms. Come and explore the graphic potential of the winter outlines and structures in the countryside around Dedham Vale. Learn to identify the shapes, patterns and rhythms within the landscape, how they relate to each other and how to place them within the camera frame. We will work both in colour and black and white. Most of the time will be spent out and about taking pictures and honing our eye to create stunning compositions in camera rather than relying on post image manipulation.

The course aims to increase your awareness of available natural light and how it influences your image. To gain a greater understanding of depth of field and how different aperture settings can alter the emphasis and impact of your image. To introduce you to exposure compensation so you can use it creatively and if you wish produce abstract images. Experiment using different ISO settings and consider the pros and cons of using filters.

Be prepared for one early morning photography session, before breakfast.
