“Just a quick word of thanks for Wednesday – a most enjoyable day and a very good venue. I’ve only had a chance to browse my images very superficially but I’m struck by how, in general, the end of the day ones seems better than the early ones.”

Participant Picture Reviews

During the day your pictures will be reviewed as you take them to ensure that you fully understand how to get the effect you’re trying to achieve with your equipment.

We can learn from each other by sharing the pictures we have taken. All of us see pictures differently. We all see things in our own way and passing around cameras is a good method to pick up the vision and style of others. It is important to say that this is not a competition and you are at the workshop to learn and update skills.

6 – Celebrating Self-expression with Participants Pictures 
“Just a quick note to thank you for the depth of field day last month at Didcot.  It made me think a lot and I attach a couple of the many images I took.  They’re in colour at present but may well end up as monochrome.”
Arthur Lees, Marshfield – Wilts 
7 – Is this one-day workshop for me?

Learn, grow, express is all about adding new skills in easy stages. This workshop sets out the basic skills required to master depth of field. If you like industrial/railway photography then you will be completely in your element with us on this workshop.

Every photographer must have a working knowledge of DoF. This workshop will give you all the skills and knowledge to enable you to produce pictures with variable depth of field settings. If your pictures look like everybody else’s it’s time that you fully mastered the control of DoF.

If you want to know how to give your pictures an artistic look with depth of field, come and find out how it’s done. 

Making your best, even better
