Yahoo Movies A beginner’s guide to digital photography with David Levene
If you’ve got a DSLR on your wishlist this Christmas, or you got a camera last year and still haven’t taken it out of the box for fear of not knowing how to use it, this masterclass with David Levene will give you the skills and confidence to make the most of your camera – and take beautiful shots.
In one virtual evening, award-winning Guardian photographer David will begin by introducing you to the manual settings of a digital SLR camera, forming the foundations of an informative seminar that will then explore how to make use of light, exposure and depth of field, how to capture motion in your images, the importance of selecting the right lens, and what you need to know about aperture and shutter speed.
Whether you’re hoping a new camera lands in your stocking this year, you’re gifting one to a family member or friend, or you’ve decided 2021 is the year you dust off that box in your attic, this masterclass is a perfect beginner’s guide to dazzling photography.
