Attend a Discover Photography session in London to develop a love for your camera's manual mode. You have a DSLR camera and are using it to take gorgeous pictures in automatic or normal shooting mode, but why aren't your pictures as eye-catching as some you see online? This tutorial will demonstrate how to use manual mode to take stunning pictures. This beginner-friendly photography session, conducted in the capital's Old Street neighbourhood, will assist you in learning all that your camera is capable of. A DSLR has far more potential than just the "point and shoot" approach that we're all so accustomed to. You will be guided through every stage of your camera exploration by an accomplished photographer.
