Gold Coast Photography Courses & WorkshopsBeyond the Basics Photography Course (PSBB)
Intermediate Photography Course for DSLR and Mirrorless Digital Cameras
Learn how to take great photos of family, friends and pets, as well as how to create awe inspiring landscapes and seascapes.
Beyond the Basics Course Overview.
This one day DSLR photography course assumes you have knowledge of your camera’s functions and features, but you realise your camera is capable of much more.
1-on-1 tuition available.
Perhaps you’re not achieving the results you hoped for with your images. After all, if you are only using ‘AUTO’ or ‘P’ modes you may as well have saved your money and purchased a compact ‘point and shoot’ camera.
The course is adapted from the original “Beyond the Basics Course” I wrote for and taught at Gold Coast Institute of TAFE for 17 years.
Full Day Course: 9:30 - 4:30
Courses can be conducted anywhere on the Gold Coast. Travel charges may apply outside the Gold Coast area. Please ask.
Course Fee $290.
