The focal length is one of the most overlooked creative tools in photography. Understanding and using it appropriately will dramatically improve the impact of any image - because the focal length and composition dance together hand in hand and are best friends.
Photography can seem an elusive, nebulous undertaking. Let Dave Newton demystify it with this back to basics approach on learning to be in control of your camera rather than letting the camera control you.
Flash is like the photographers own portable sun - used well it can hugely enhance your pictures, used badly it can ruin them. In this workshop, you'll learn how to use it well and avoid using it badly.
The alchemy of photography is to transform the ordinary, into something extraordinary. Combining vision with technical know-how to capture stimulating images that excite and intrigue a viewer, hold their attention, and spark appreciation. This is where Creativity and Camera meet.
All Photographer skill levels can, and will, benefit from this workshop. Whether you're a landscape, street, macro, wildlife, Astro, studio, portrait, pet, wedding.... photographer, there will be things of interest to you here.
A good composition will make the difference between a boring photo - and a brilliant one. It takes more than beautiful subjects and great locations - it's how you see it through your camera and how you move your body.
Light is the basis of all photography. Without light, we can't capture anything so it pays to take time to really get to understand how your camera measures and captures light. If you sometimes find your images are too bright or too dark, then this workshop will explain why that is and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Photographers are always talking about light and its qualities. Light will make, or break an image no matter how well composed or beautiful the subject is. But what are the qualities of light? How do you see or capture them with a camera, because light itself is invisible?

While photography has a large element of science, it is also an art. Getting the light right is only part of the story of an image. If you really want to make your pictures send out, you need to spend some time thinking about your composition too - where your subject is in the frame, what you include or exclude from a scene and how to make an image feel balanced.
