Overview:
The Newcastle day private course is a hands on course that explores the Newcastle inner city coastline from Nobbys Beach to Merewether. The course participants are instructed on photographic techniques from the ground up while out in the field were skills taught can be practiced immediately as the mood of the day changes and additional questions that arise can be answered and queries resolved.
Hit the ground running:
On booking my course you will be sent the courses 20 page handbook and video tutorials that outlines the key concepts and workflow that will be practiced and expanded upon on the day.
You will have an account created on our Rubbing Pixel website, that will give you an idea on how some of the image we take on the day with the techniques taught are processed.
The idea of the booklet and access to the Rubbing Pixels website is to give you a heads up on what will be covered so the learning curve is not so steep and then after the course both items will be your point of reference to refresh your memory and to take you further with your learning.

Work through and understand the features and settings in your camera to make it perform to its highest level to give you the best possible image. (ISO, shooting modes, colour profiles, image format, lens functions and features & more)
We walk through step by step the key components used to take the best possible shot with our new camera set up. We look at and review how to read the light, best aperture and shutter speed settings.
With the skills starting to come together we take things further with the introduction of measures used to control the light with understanding and reading the histogram. We look at ND grad filters and filters in depth.
With a basic set up the principles of capturing and putting together multiple images to create digital panoramic's is outlined and explained. Along with it common errors and pit falls to watch and keep in mind when shooting.
We discuss the benefits and methods used to control and profile your workflow so the colour's you see on screen is what you get as a final printed image from a home or professional lab. We talk photo papers, framing and more.
With the course completed the exercises in your handbook takes over and they will give you direction on new and interesting things you can try with your new found skills.
The DVD in your handbook includes a range of my video tutorials on image development and video discussion on photo resource web sites, photo community forums, printing labs and topics covered during the day that are spoken about.
