Description

Join David Tipling, one of the UK’s top bird photographers, on a three part weekly course covering photography basics, ideas on composition and how to capture eye catching images in urban and suburban environments. The topics covered in week two would largely be relevant to people who just have a camera on a mobile phone. The first two sessions will be pre-recorded followed by a third live Q&A session.

  • Week 1: 1hour

    This session will include a 30 minute pre-recorded video featuring photography basics including gear choice. How to get the correct exposure, creative ways to use shutter speed and depth of field. We will look at which modes and settings are best to use on your camera. The pre-recorded video will end by looking at how choice of shutter speed and aperture influence the resulting photograph.

    We will end this session with a 30 minute live Q&A with David.

  • Week 2: 1hour

    This session explores photographing birds in the urban environment. We look at how using different focal lengths from wide angle lenses to telephotos and how the camera on your phone can change perspective. How the direction of light can influence your photograph and we will explore ideas on composition.

  • Week 3: 90 minute

    This final session will be a live Q&A with David in which you can raise questions and queries resulting from the previous sessions.
