itinerary
Day 1 – Introduction to the Camera and Exposure
Photographers meet at 11:00 at Olifants North. We start with a basic overview of the camera and the different settings.
The first day covers essential camera settings and a core explanation and understanding of how light is controlled by the camera through aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings.
There is a light lunch provided from 12:30-14:00.
We break at 17:00 with some potential ‘homework’ for participating photographers.
Day 2 – Exposure and Focus
The morning starts at 9:00 at Olifants North with a continuation and recap on exposure. In the morning we continue with understanding the histogram and how to use it to perfect exposure for wildlife photography.
After a light lunch we go into auto focus and getting the right settings dialed in to cameras for photographing moving subjects.
After afternoon tea there is a brief introduction to colour theory in photography and how we can use colour to create images with impact.
Day 3 – Digital Asset Management and RAW Conversion
Photographers meet again at 9:00 at Olifants North. The morning session starts on understanding how to ingest and manage digital files so that they are easier to sort and find images.
After tea there is a session on the basics of RAW conversion using editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One Pro. The session is not meant to be exhaustive, but an introduction to digital editing.
The last session of the day (after lunch) is a guided editing session where photographers work on images for the final crit review. This is an excellent opportunity to get feedback on images, as well as general commentary on images and how to improve them.
