Learning to get the best out of your DSLR - many options
 
DSLR DVD
To get more out of your camera you need to understand the important settings like aperture, shutter speeds, etc.
We have just received a bunch of lesson plans for running digital camera classes from our Photo Association which we can offer - there are a couple for compact cameras, a 6-part series for DSLR cameras and one on DSLR flash photography. We can use our studio as a classroom if any of you would like to attend these classes during the day-time - I'm thinking 9am to 11am
E-mail me if you're interested.
Alternatively, we have a DSLR course on DVD (see intro video) that you can purchase from us for $19.99 and teach your self at home.
And don't forget our one-on-one lessons. It's a class, but you're the only one in the class! It's $100 per hour and there's no wasted time because you decide precisely what we teach. If you book for 9am there's an earlybird special of $80. Call for an appointment..
