| Field Studies Council. Photography Courses. All over Britain. |
The Field Studies Council
runs photography courses (as well as Art courses etc) at
many locations around Britain.
Many courses demonstrate how to get the best out of digital cameras and what to do with the images afterwards.
On each course, demonstrations to explain theory and practical techniques are complemented by plenty of
opportunities to take your own photographs, either in the Centre grounds or on excursions to sites
of interest such as local villages or nature reserves.
All courses are listed in their brochure. If you try their courses, please let us know your experience. |

| Planes Planes Planes |
The Gatwick Aviation Museum is an open-air aeroplane museum
with over 20 big planes, mostly ex-RAF, all spread out just begging to be photographed.
Several planes you are able to enter. You may stick your head up the jet exhausts, and climb underneath. You are limited by only your photographic imagination. The cost is a donation (£5) as the museum is run as a private charity. They are not open most days, so check their web site. They will open by special request. My experience: I spent all day there and felt there was still a lot to do. Take very wide angle lenses for inside planes, and those distorted close-up shots. Ashley |
| Found a web site to print your photographs? |
I have found DS Colour Labs Ltd inexpensive and very good quality. I uploaded my images easily with their software, and received the prints a few days later. Ashley |
