Photographic Courses
Southern Suburbs Photographic Society is offering three photographic
Courses, so everyone can choose to do one, two or even all three
depending on their ability and interest.
Level One
This is a beginners Course and is aimed at students who are
new to Photography. "Snappers" who wish to improve their skills
for family shots, holidays And general "good time" photo's. It
is envisaged that this group will have no desire to become serious
about their photographic skills and will be perfectly happy with
a point and shoot camera. As an aid to uniformity all manipulation
of images will be done in a free downloadable software package
from Google, called Picasa. Picasa is an excellent storage medium
with a very good but simple manipulation facility built into the
software. This basic course runs over a five to six week period
allowing time for all questions to be answered.
Level Two
Inter-mediate level of photographic skill.
This group is a little more advance than beginners, with people
owning a more upmarket camera or even a basic DSLR perhaps with
a second lens. Image manipulation would be done on the propriety
software of the camera itself or Photo-shop Elements or even upgraded
CS4 and CS5. This group will be taught the vagaries of exposure,
focusing, white balance, Lighting and more. At least one practical
outdoor field trip will be included in this course. This course
is aimed at a five week period with extra time at the weekend
towards the end of the course for one or more outdoor workshops.
Level Three or Master Class
This will be presented by Ian Rolfe, President of SSPS and a very
accomplished Landscape Photographer and keen student of creative
outdoor photography. This course is all about the passion of Photography…
Understanding all aspects of Light, and about feelings and emotions
that come with the pure joy of seeing the world through the camera's
lens. It covers visualisation, composition, tones and textures.
Interacting with the world around us, architecture, trees, our
skies, seascapes, landscapes and urban scapes. It covers, poor
lighting, night photography, depth of field, refraction, and much
more. The use of filters is extensively covered, when and where
to use them… and to cap it all off….. One night is devoted to
some essential photo-shop techniques at the end of this 7 week course.
