Take Control!

Digital cameras are amazing. All that technical wizardry and genius in a little box you can hold in your hands. Auto settings mean you just need to pick up the camera, point it at your subject and fire away... but that's not always a good thing. It's fine if you want quick snaps and aren't interested in photography or taking photos that make people go "WOW!!!", but what if you do want stunning photos? What if you don't want snaps, you want photographs? Learning to take control of your camera is the first step.
Learn how to take the photos yourself, manually... not letting the camera make all the decisions for you. I had a wonderful day out on Saturday showing a lovely lady how to do just that.
Having just bought a new DSLR camera, she wanted to know how to actually use it to get more creative photos... to get photos that make people say "wow!!!" We spent a few hours at Drummond Castle Gardens, where she learned all sorts of new tricks with the camera, before heading down to the river in Crieff for more fun and learning in a totally different environment.

Blurry backgrounds, sharp backgrounds, low light, lots of light, close-ups or far-reaching views, these digital photography tutorials are designed to get you started in photography in a way that you can understand.
If you want to learn about photography in plain English, with no need for a degree in maths or physics, I can help you. Split over three sessions, we go out and learn how to use the manual settings on your camera, how to get great pictures, and how to work on the computer to enhance your images and give them the extra 'wow' factor!
If you are interested in one-to-one digital photography tutorials for beginners, either for yourself or for someone you know, get in touch by e-mail rebecca@rtphotographics.co.uk and we'll discuss all the options to suit you.
