Introduction to Black and White Photography. What makes a good Black and White shot?

We will look at the contrast and using textures. How does the camera see the image and how do we create Black and White images in a camera or in post-production. We will look for some good examples and set some exercises.

This is a more advanced course and assumes you understand the basics of photography and controlling your camera.

Teaching you how to fully control your images for correct exposure and some artistic expression and flare! We'll be starting out by looking at what your camera can do, and how you can make the camera do some of the work for you, while you still get to create the look you want.
Once we understand the two main settings for artistic expression, we'll talk about the exposure triangle - Aperture, Shutter Speed, and the third item we have been ignoring, ISO.
Once we understand the effect that Aperture and Shutter Speed can have on an image, and how we can use that to create a specific look, we'll add in ISO, and switch out to full manual.

The goal of this class is to teach you how to create the image you're looking for, getting proper exposure, what the main settings on your camera do, how to use those settings to control the image, and hopefully give you the ability and confidence to start shooting in manual mode more often.

Macro Photography is about the little details, from the texture of a single blade of grass, to the layers in a dandelion.

To capture the details we typically get very close, and make small things big, we might use very specialised equipment.

We'll be focusing on the principles of macro photography, techniques we can use, and how to best use equipment you have available, so that when you have a subject like insets and small flying creatureas, you're ready to go!

We will briefly discuss the use of lighting equipment to emphasise and assist macro photography.
