Hi, first time on the forum (please be gentle!)

I've just moved to Manchester and am looking for (and failing to find) a basic beginners course in photography. I have an old Olympus OM10 (that I've never really known how to use properly, just took my chances and fiddled and things came out ok generally) that I've had for years and have recently splurged and bought myself a new Olympus Pen e-p1. I don't really know what I'm doing with it and hate that I constantly have it on auto.

I'm therefore keen to do some sort of beginners course to learn how to use it better/properly (!), but am having real difficulty finding courses in Manchester, preferably the city centre as this is where I'm based. Was particularly annoyed (and outraged) that the art school no longer run evening courses, especially having just moved from Scotland where the art schools/local authority are soooo much better at this sort of provision. Kicking myself I didn't do something up there!

Rather a long winded way of saying it but can anyone help me find an evening course in photography in Manchester please?

M.

PS. Don't have a car, work outside the city (in Sheffield) and live in the city centre, so anything more central is preferable!
 
hi and welcome to the forums. you will learn lots of great tips on here.
sorry i cant help with one to one courses, but try the local schools and colleges to see if they run evening courses.
also have you tried the internet for online couses and video tutorials.
lots out there
you tube got loads of photography videos on there, brian peterson (author of understanding exposure ) is a good name to search for on you tube
also ive heard this guy is very good, karl taylor follow this link to his site , this is one to his dvd tutorials, the 1st 3 are buy 2 get one free. i ordered mine last week came this morning, watch his sampler vids online to see what you think
