Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything?

Yes - you will need your own DSLR / Mirrorless DSLR.

What's covered?

We'll cover an intro into using your camera on manual settings, hands-on with your own camera and lenses. From the importance of Shutter speed, ISO and aperture to framing and composition. in this 4 hour workshop you get around 2 hours of hands on shooting.

Can I use my mobile phone?

Ideally no - while the setting configurations are similar the framing and conversation around lenses differs for phone users.

Are refreshments Available?

Yes - water, juice and snacks will be provided but any dietary requirements please bring your own food just incase.

What If it's raining?

If it's a light shower then we'll be fine, it'll make the session a little more interesting but good for beginners to still learn in the rain. Weather is unpredictable so always best to be prepared for it. If heavy rain session will be suspended or cancelled if too bad.
