We have all been frustrated with our photgraphic efforts at some time or other. Too light, too dark, heads or feet chopped off or our favourite aunt totally unrecognisable appearing as a pinhead in the distance. All too often we see our pictures and wonder why we wasted our time and money.

This course will help address these problems and is aimed at all levels of ability. Kevin Thomas will help guide you through the various mysteries of outdoor photography. His course will explore cameras, lenses, filters, films and other associated equipment. Using the studio and the impressive grounds of Glynhir he will explain and discuss the issues involved with lighting and composition. Kevin is planning, weather permitting, a field trip to our local castle ‘Carreg Cennen’ that perches dramatically on the craggy cliffs above the river Cennen and also other scenic venues. Participants are also encouraged to bring samples of their work for a positive critique. The course will start on the first evening with an informal get together and a slide show at which Kevin will outline his ideas and plans for the course.
