There are still a few places left on this year's Photography Course.

 

This is an ideal opportunity for those members (and friends & family) who are just starting out on the photographic highway. The course provides an introduction to photography for those who have little or no experience or technical knowledge. It is also suitable for anyone wishing to refresh or expand their existing knowledge and expertise. The course aims to start students taking photographs immediately.  You do not have to be a member of the Society to enrol on the course.

The Tuesday Evening Classes consist of either a lecture followed by small group discussions or a practical session.
