Classes Resume

Just a reminder for those who were hoping to have more than one week off from class, we are back in this week, Tuesday 1st for Digital Photography, and Wednesday 2nd November for PC Maintenance.

Don't forget to bring your folders in on Tuesday, those of you in my camera class!

See you in the week

Half Term Holiday

Remember its Half Term next week, so if you come to class you will find the building locked, and in darkness!  Night classes resume on Tuesday 1st November, and Wednesday 2nd November 2011.


Don't forget to bring in your 'student folders' - Digital Photography Class!

Have a good week off!

Digital Photography Class 4

Tonight's class the students brought in some Autumn bits and pieces for us to take some still life photography. Autumn gives us great opportunity in terms of colour and a wide variety of colourful leaves.

Here is a selection of images from last nights class:

Arranging the different materials on the tables. Notice how some of the students are using tripods, this enables certain macro shots to be sharp and accurate.

Colin discovered that in his bag of Autumnal goodies, he had a little friend.

Colin's tiny stowaway! Leaving his mark on the table top as well. (We wiped it afterwards...and no harm became of the snail either!)

With everything that was brought in, there was a very good selection for the group to choose from.

Colin's Tomato and Holly arrangement, very festive - if not too early!

All in all a very good session. It's quite useful to be able to actually spend some time with the camera, actually taking photographs. Many of us lead busy lives and scarcely have the time to dedicate to it, unless we are going somewhere special perhaps. That's one of the things I like to provide in the class - time where the students can play about with their cameras, and ask questions and get advice when they need it.

It's Half Term next week, so remember - no school! When we return we will be looking at Paint Shop Pro X3, and learning how to modify our photographs! Should be fun!

Digital Photography Class - Homework Assignments.

Just a reminder in case you haven't done your homework assignments. They will not take you too long so don't panic!

Week One: Identifying My Camera

Week Two: Storing Digital Images

Week Three: Standing Steady

This week's homework, which I will talk about tonight is:

Week Four: Planning your Shots

and for those eager among you, I have posted the following:

Week Five: Label the Camera

There is no class next week as the school is shut for the Half Term break, however remember that your Autumn Project is due in when you return. Bring that in, in your student folders as well as the other homework sheets that I have given out, as I need to see them.

If you need additional copies of the Student Diary sheets (i.e. What we did tonight sheets) or you have lost the brief for the Autumn Project, you can get them by clicking the link below:

Enjoy the week off, and I'll see you after Half Term, or tonight, depending when you read this!
