17th September 2018

Tutor Eric Pye | Fee £126 | 10 weeks

New to digital photography and want to develop your skills? An exciting mix of theory, demonstrations and assignments will help you to master the controls of your camera.

What will the course or workshop cover and how will it be taught?
By the end of the course, you will have received and practiced the basics of digital photography. You will learn the controls of your camera, the basics of metering and exposure control together with techniques to aid composition.

What do I need to bring with me?
You will need a digital camera, its instruction manual (a physical copy or access to a digital copy), memory card, clothes suitable for going outside and some means of making notes. A tripod may be helpful for some of the sessions but is by no means a necessity.

Are there any additional costs?
There is the option of printing 3 images for approximately £10, payable directly to the tutor. The tutor will discuss this with students.

About the tutor
Eric is a photographer who likes to combine his love of the outdoors with a desire to produce something creative. He likes to try and convey something about the places in his images and does this with traditional landscape shots as well as more abstract ideas using camera movement and multiple exposures. As well as creating his own images, Eric now puts his years as a school teacher to good use teaching photography to groups, individuals and here at the Brewery. You can find out more about him and his work at www.ericpyephotography.co.uk or on Facebook as Eric Pye Photography.

Half term week commencing 22 October
Week commencing 12 November due to Kendal Mountain Festival
