Take Better Photos With Your Compact Camera


Planning on a new compact camera for Christmas?

Don’t just buy the camera, learn how to REALLY use it…

Occasionally, I go away and have what I call a ‘camera holiday’.  What this means is that I take a break to a nice place and only take a small compact camera rather than take an SLR, various lenses, and all the kit that goes with it.  That said, I always take loads of pics (as always) with the compact and am normally left thinking how great simple compact cameras have become these days.   Sure there’s limitations to a good photographer, but you can still get some great photos and control more than you think.

For this reason I’ve just launched a new course entitled, ‘Take Better Photos With Your Compact.’  This half-day workshop is aimed at those who don’t have (and might not want!) an SLR camera but just want to take better photos and understand their camera a bit more (ideal if its new camera – perhaps for Christmas?).  As with all my courses, this one will be hosted locally in the beautiful surrounds of Mill Green and will be fun, informal, and informative. 


The two photos in this blog post demonstrate my point; both taken whist out biking on Saturday using a simple compact smaller than my phone. Adopting some basic knowledge around composition and using light creatively can capture a striking image without the need for big and expensive cameras!
