To teach attendees the basic camera skills required to photograph aircraft. The day will incorporate plenty of practical skills training, combined with a small amount of classroom tuition. The course will be run, promoted and managed by Shuttleworth with Darren Harbar Photography delivering the training.
The course is aimed at beginner photographers who wish to learn the basic controls of their camera. It is ideal for photographers who have a DSLR and are looking to get more creative and understand the use of shutter speeds and apertures. We do not discourage more competent enthusiasts from attending this course, but are advised we will cover some basic elements of camera settings.
It is essential that attendees own a DSLR camera with a removable lens. A large part of the course will be about using the cameras manual settings, so it is important you have a camera that allows you to change shutter speeds and apertures. The majority of the day will be about using a standard zoom lens, a longer zoom lens is not essential, but would be beneficial.
The course would feature a range of practical skills from static images, portrait photography (using a period dress re-enactor), through to moving subjects in the air. It will leave attendees fully primed to take on an airshow with their camera.
Please note this event is not suitable for children under 16.
Limited to 20 places, at a (rather high in my opinion) cost of £150 per head.
