To undertake this course is no different than the skill level of any of my other courses. You don't need any what so ever. The course is designed to start off at any level you want and to go from there.

These courses are quite popular for people who are interested in wanting to learn how to shoot slide film on their 35mm or 617 panoramic cameras.

My private courses just like our group courses are perfect for beginners to professional photographers. This course will cover the basics of camera set up and functions through to detailed image capture techniques.

All private courses take in a sunset shoot where participants get to put the days teachings into paratice to re enforce that the workflow taught works in any situation.

During the day we cover additional subjects like shooting and re visualising digital panoramics, concepts and process of exposure blending, shutter blending and focus blending. Understanding and shooting to a histogram.

The correct use of filters like graduated ND filters, polarisers and full ND filters to control the light and create sureal image effects.

:: WHERE, START TIMES AND COURSE COSTS

All private courses are courses are held at a location you would like to start at or I am happy to give you advice. Sydney private courses are held on the Northern Beaches, Sydney City and the Eastern Beaches (no lower than Maroubra).

:: WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO I NEED FOR THIS COURSE

To get the most from this course you need to have a digital slr camera. It doesn't matter how old it is or what lenses you have or its brand.

If you have an advanced point and shoot camera like the Fuji Fine pix, Powershots etc that can shoot on Manual settings then I can certainly show you how to get the most from the camera.

If in doubt about your camera let me know and I will happily tell you.

:: THE COURSE WORKBOOK AND RUBBING PIXELS

All my courses are accompanied by a detailed 50 page booklet that outlines the courses content that is taught and expanded upon on the day.

The booklet serves as a head up before the day and your point of reference afterwards.

All students booked on my group courses will receive six months access to my site Rubbing Pixels to also assist with their image editing and further education.

:: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO THIS COURSE

To undertake this course you will need a camera and if possible a tripod. I have numerous tripods of my own that I am happily to lend on the day to those who don't have one or would like to do the day first and see what tripods work best.

If you don't have a camera and would like to still do the course then I don't mind allowing you to use my own Canon 5D MkII, though I will need it during the day to teach, but other than that it is yours for the day.
