camera, but also your shooting and composition skills taking
you to new levels of ability and satisfaction.

of photographic lectures and practical sessions. The emphasis
will be very much hands on, with the core segment of the teaching
revolving around creating photos of plants & gardens suitable
for web presentation, fine art and magazine publication. The

exercises which will reinforce the class room learning.
