Have you gone digital recently and want to improve your photographic skills to get the best out of your camera? Then why not join us for an exciting weekend workshop with professional photographer and tutor – Paul Southall from DCZ Photography?

Having studied photography at college in the early seventies following a childhood passion with the media, which is still as fresh today, Paul has travelled extensively to capture travel and motor sport images. He undertakes commissions of all styles from Portrait to Product shots for both private and business clients and is actively involved with tutoring on a number of photography courses throughout the Midlands. We are delighted to have secured Paul’s services for two photographic workshops here at Three Ways House Hotel from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th January and Friday 19th to Sunday 21st February 2010.

Digital technology provides exciting and challenging opportunities for amateurs wishing to develop their creativeness and technical scope for image processing, to help you in your pursuit of perfect images, over the weekend you will learn how to -

• See and compose great images
• Work with various techniques
• Take advantage of conditions “on the day”
• Set up your camera in the best way

The weekend will include a photography slideshow, tutorial presentations and practical workshops and a review/critique of your photographs through a laptop and onto a big screen. Numbers will be limited to ensure you get the best out of the experience.
