Lightroom Training in Cambridgeshire

Photo Details

This is an image from a range I took on a training course this week with Damien Lovegrove. Even the trainer has to train once in a while and we were treated to a wide range of new techniques for those who are a little more advanced in their skills. If your interested more of the portraits form the day can be seen on the portrait photography blog.

Technical Details

ISO 1250, 100mm, f2.8, 1/25 sec

Tools Used

Lightroom 3 and a ‘polaroid’ type preset to give it that lovely retro feel.

Portrait Photography Courses and Training - Cambridge

Gallery Photo – “Gemma”

This is Gemma, I had 30 seconds to take the shot. Thats it really.

 

Photo Details

I love backlit portraits, they just work for me. I’m still surprised that 1/15th sec can still produce a tack-sharp image. That 85mm portrait lens never fails to get results.

 

Technical Details

All taken at f4.0, 1/15th, ISO1600 at 85mm.

More coming soon…..

Welcome to the photography and photography training site. As you can probably see this is all new and I still have a lot of content to add. I'll be continually updating the site so please bookmark and check back soon. If you'd like further information on training, would like to advertise, or just give feedback, please use the contact form.

The Photo Gallery

The photo gallery shows examples of my photography in and around Cambridge and beyond. I regularly use these portrait, landscape, and commercial photographs as examples when teaching my photography courses.

Depending on which photography training course you choose, you too can learn the techniques and settings to achieve the same results yourselves.

I try to avoid any emphasis on which camera you own, and concentrate more on the composition and use of your camera settings. I teach mostly SLR based photography training and less of the digital compact camera based training as the results from digital SLR cameras are significantly better in general.

Lightroom Training Courses

Photography Training in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire

Our Lightroom Course teaches you both the basics and some in-depth details about the Lightroom Workflow. From importing your images and tagging, through image adjustment both in Lightroom and out to Photoshop and other applications, then back into Lightroom and sharing and printing your images. More on the Lightroom Course is here...

Photo Training – SLR Photography for beginners.

This course is ideally suited to those buying their first SLR camera. The course tries to avoid as much technical jargon as possible, and instead concentrates on the essential skills.

You don't need to have a specific brand of SLR camera such as the more popular Canon and Nikon SLR's. This course is suitable for other brands also.

The aim is for you to go away with new skills and an ability to capture images you thought weren't possible and the inspiration to do so.
