Our day-long workshop is designed with digital DSLR users in mind and combines the essential theory along with plenty of practical picture taking, time for questions and the opportunity to try out new found techniques.

Morning session
The morning session is all about tackling the theory and guiding you through the key features of your camera. You will learn how to control the aperture, shutter speed and ISO for absolute creative control of the exposure and discover how to shoot confidently in the manual mode - no more Auto!
The first two hours of the morning session are held in a class room environment with views over the Brisbane river, we then move outside for some practical tips before breaking for lunch.

Afternoon session
After lunch we will take a casual walk around the South Bank parklands area where there will be plenty of opportunities to explore different techniques including controlling depth of field, capturing moving subjects, using shutter speeds creatively and shooting in low light as the sun sets over Brisbane.

What you will learn
Aperture - What is it and how does it affect the exposure and our final image.

What people are saying about the workshop
I must say, I've had aperture, shutter speed etc explained to me so many times before but I've never understood them properly. Your theory explanation in combination with the practice models that you have developed, really helped me better understand those concepts and I really feel already (after only one day) that my skills have now improved considerably! As a professional designer in business, financially your workshop has already paid for itself! Thanks!
