The goal of my courses is to achieve both competence and confidence with your camera, treating it as a tool to capture and process images for whatever purpose.   They are designed for the aspiring nature photographer who has a basic kit; this would normally include: a digital SLR or 35mm film SLR camera body with a short focal length zoom such as 18mm-55mm and a medium focal length zoom such as a 70-300mm (these focal lengths may vary depending on the film or digital format and are only recommended as a guide, advice can be given on request). Further equipment such as good tripods, bean-bags and macro lenses are a bonus especially on some of the insect or fungi courses and will become increasingly important as the photographer progresses.

I strongly recommend any of the beginner's courses; either the 'Beginning Nature Photography Workshop' which I teach for Sussex Wildlife Trust at Woods Mill or the new and very comprehensive 'Capture to Computer' workshop for either beginner's or improver's alike. These workshops give each student a solid foundation of photographic knowledge and allow more to be gained from more specialist courses such as adders or woodland birds which are notoriously fickle to the photographer. A lot of the specialist courses involve dealing with the respective wildlife subjects as well as the technical aspects of photography as this is an essential and large component of achieving beautiful images from nature.
