Landscape, Travel and Wildlife Photography

Details:

Landscape, travel and wildlife photography are the most popular disciplines. However, they also happen to be the most difficult to capture successfully. All too often the glory of the moment seems to vanish when the results are viewed.

Living in Africa delivers a multitude of opportunities to photograph magnificent landscapes and wildlife. However, owning the latest photographic equipment will not always guarantee successful results.

On the course you are taught professional techniques. You will also be shown how to work with light and be introduced to inexpensive accessories and tricks of the trade that will help you to elevate your photography to a higher level.

The course takes three weeks to complete (one night per week) and is suited for film and digital users. On completion of the third lesson, you are given eight weeks to put into practice what you have learnt. The class then meets again to share experiences and view a selection of the work photographed.
