This one day course will help you to get familiar with your DSLR 
in the field as well as provide you with the classroom basics for you to capture thought-provoking images of nature and the environment. We will spend the morning learning the fundamentals of creative photography with examples of what works and what to consider. Weather permitting, we will then take a trip to Greenwich Park where you can put into practice what you have learnt with individual tutoring time. Then back in the class-room we can look at the images you have produced for discussion. The course will cover the use of depths-of-field, the use of natural light and the tools and techniques for creating images with impact. This is not a technically driven course but will help you develop an eye and feel for what you would like to photograph.
