Jon Cruttenden Photography Tuition

Jon is now offering one-to-one and small group photography tuition.

If you have an advanced compact digital camera or a digital SLR, but feel you aren't getting the best from it and would like to learn how to realise you and your camera's potential, then Jon can help....

With the aid of comprehensive, easy to understand, self written course notes, Jon will guide you through the jungle of jargon and help you understand all the necessary skills required to take and make beautiful pictures good enough to hang on the wall of an art gallery.

All aspects of digital photography are covered - from switching on the camera to printing the finished image.

Topics include:

• Getting to know your camera - all of those complicated menu options and controls explained.
• The Creative Zone - Moving away from the comfort zone of automatic shooting, and into the Creative Zone.
• Take control of your camera - learn how you can be in control - not the camera.
• Composition and framing - a jargon-free explanation of where to point your camera
• Making The Difference - How composition makes the difference between a "snap" and a piece of fine art.
• Basic rules of composition - these are explained, and when you can break them.
• Lenses and filters - choosing and using.
• Basic image manipulation - from downloading, through enhancement to resizing and printing.
