Photography Course
Posted: Wed 27 August, 2008 Filed under: Five Year Plan (now Ten), Getting Organised, Photography 3 Comments »In the last week, I’ve signed up for a Digital Photography course based in Attleborough. It’s a year-long course, and will lead to NCFE Level 1 and 2 qualifications in Digital Photography.
I’m actually aiming for the Level 2 more than the Level 1, as I’m pretty certain I don’t count as a “beginner” in photography at all. What I’m hoping is that the course will also include some grounding in some of the basic photography stuff that I still don’t fully ‘get’ – apertures, f numbers, and calculating the appropriate shutter speed for a particular aperture/Depth of Field.
Additionally, I’m hoping that just having the extra impetus of this course will add some motivation for getting out more and taking more photos. It’s something I’ve been struggling with all year, the entire thing of keeping on going out and taking photos, so I hope that having something to work on will help on that score.
The course starts on 23rd September, so I’ll know more at that point. Should be interesting, anyway.
Have you found the secret of unlimited time or something?
A year-long course, the gym, the garden, a dog and other animals, being self-employed and working miles away from home a lot of the time… how? Why?
Not so much unlimited time as eternal optimism coupled with almost certain insanity, and an inability to do nothing.
It may all end up falling round my arse – I don’t know yet. But at least this way I’ll have tried.
just read loads of this site. i haven’t laughed as much for ages!
