Program
What does the photo workshop for beginners look like?
After the meeting and brief introduction at the agreed location, you tell us how you currently photograph (automatic, semi-automatic, manual) and which settings you use now. We also hear from you which photos you like to take, and where you prefer to photograph. What works and what doesn't. Then we get started!
Learning in practice
Anton or Laurien will take pictures with you. We will explain which settings you can use, and why. We will show you how to check if your exposure is good and how to adjust it. The workshop is short, so we will focus on the most important points: making sure your photos are sharp and well exposed. Have you mastered that yet? Then we will get started with the other possibilities of your camera and we will also spend time on composition.
Take a breather in between
Halfway through we take a short break. You get quite a lot of information in a short time, so a rest and something to drink is welcome. Anton or Laurien will then immediately look at your photos and if necessary at your settings.
