Introduction to Flash Photography

We will meet in Ljubljana's old town for some practical learning. Using the city for inspiration we will work on different camera techniques, practice what we've learned in the classroom and learn how to look for subjects. The instructor will give direction and helpful tips on how to improve your photography.

We will go for a half-day trip out of Ljubljana. We will choose the location according to weather conditions. The main goal will be to work on our landscape and nature photography skills. After the trip we will sit down to discuss our course, what we've learned and check the photos we took during the course.

This course is suitable for beginners and aspiring photographers who want to expand their knowledge and learn something new. It is better to use your own digital camera for the course, whether this is a D-SLR or a point & shoot camera with some manual controls and settings.
