Photography Workshop – 'Know The Basics' with Daniel Bridge

Daniel Bridge is running a one-day workshop designed to help you get the most from your camera. Baffled by ISO, aperture, P,A,S and M? All these and more are covered during the morning session, with a slideshow and discussion guiding you through the main controls common to all cameras.

After a break for lunch, we go out on the reserve to put our new-found knowledge to good use, trying out the controls on the cameras and seeing the differences we can make to our photos.

As long as you can switch the camera on, everything else will be covered on the day. If you do know some of the basics though, don't worry, there'll be plenty more here for you to learn.

What you need to bring:

- A camera! This is mainly aimed at digital cameras of all types, but even if you use film, you will gain extra knowledge about your camera.

- A Tripod if you have one. Don't worry if you don't.

- Memory Cards/Spare Batteries. We'll be trying many different techniques and it would be a shame to feel limited by the number of exposures you could take, so make sure there's plenty of space on memory cards. Ensure any batteries are fully charged!

- Any lenses/accessories you may have. You never know when you might need them. Footwear and Clothing suitable for a walk in the reserve. Including wet weather gear (hopefully not required).

- Lunch. Lunch is not included in the cost of the day – there is a café on site so please remember to bring money or something with you to eat.
