Hi
Being a new hobby of mine and looking to learn Photography - wanting to do landscapes and motorsport (and anything nice that catches my eye!)
I've invested in:
EOS350D
Canon 75-300 IS USM
Canon EFS 18-85 IS
some filters, some bits and bobs accessories.
Now I need to learn how to use the kit to its full effect! (I need to learn how to manually set up shots, what it all means - I understand basically (but not very well) Aperture, ISO and Shutter speed, but I want practical experience, to see what happens when different settings are used rather than reading - I learn best like that
I think I am OK at framing a shot, using rule of 3 and spotting things which will look good.
So, on to my questions...
Does anyone know of any good tuition or courses in the Herts/Bucks/Berks area? (I am in Rickmansworth)
What magazine(s) or books would you recommend which would give me some practical things to try out and see the difference the settings, filters etc make?
Thanks for reading!
