Simon`s aim during the tuition is to guide you and help improve your skills in taking excellent landscape photographs in the beautiful Sussex Landscape.
His days are best suited for either absolute beginners with no experience, or intermediate photographers. Whilst Simon can cover many photographic topics in the day, it is always geared to your individual needs. Most importantly, it is to make sure you come away with the knowledge that you most want to know.
Being based very close to the South Downs National Park in West Sussex there are
endless landscape opportunities surrounding us, weather permitting, from beaches,
sand dunes, sea cliffs and expansive agricultural land.
The locations Simon chooses for the tuition days are easily accessible to most, though
some may require walking in rough terrain for up to 20-

- Understanding full manual control

- Understanding histograms

- How to use Raw mode to maximise your cameras potential
