Introduction to Photography Course |
|
Applications for the February 2009 course are currently open.
|
Learn to produce pictures not snapshots.
Twice each year the Melbourne Camera Club conducts a series of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions for people with digital and 35mm SLR cameras. Led by specialist photographers, these courses attract many beginning photographers as well as those who are more experienced but who have not had the benefit of any formal photographic training.
The first course each year commences on the first Tuesday in February, the second course commences on the first Tuesday in August. Each course is conducted over a six-week period; there are six lessons (held at the MCC clubrooms in South Melbourne on Tuesday evenings from 7.30 pm until 9.00pm) and three practical workshops (in different locations, on Sunday mornings from 9.30am until noon).
The $250 course fee includes all nine sessions, comprehensive course notes and six months provisional membership of the Melbourne Camera Club entitling participants to attend all club activities.
