Hosted by Andy Wallis in the Retiring Room towards the back of the hall on the ground floor, a modest sized room with a secret rear door leading to a tight spiral staircase.
"We have done quite a bit of one to one training before, but this was our first group session." said Andy. "The basic idea was to teach beginners with DSLR's how to navigate around the main settings of their cameras, whilst also explaining why they need to. This is the first step to becoming a more accomplished and creative photographer".
Once the students we confident with the technical aspects of photography Andy then moved on to composition. "Composition is the whole point of photography and that is the reason for the workshop in the first place. I find this part fascinating. our course teaches people the theory of it and how to use composition to trick the viewer in to looking at their work a certain way."
"The course held at Wollaton hall was a great success, our feedback forms filled out by our students were testament to the hard work we put in designing and writing the content and to our knowledge of the subject." Andy said confidently!
"The practical session is great fun, we take a couple of our more specialised lenses with us for people to try (if they have brought canon cameras along that is), this goes down really well. The practical session in the hall allows us to show our students what their photos can look like without using flash if cameras are set correctly"
The next Andy Wallis Photography beginners workshops will be held in July at Wollaton hall and now also at Nottingham castle, please check the website for more info.
