The photography club at Taverham Hall is fun and educational in many ways. It gives each individual the opportunity to explore how we see the world and to make the most from our cameras.

The idea is to work on the manual settings and less on the automatic and programmed settings. You will discover how much manual control on your camera’s settings will improve your image making.

During the Autumn Term and number of our parents have been working, Debby Besford, a professional photographer who has many years experience.

During the eight week course they covered location and portrait photography as well as working towards a photographic narrative. The final result is a series of images that can be diverse in subject matter and achieve good results for their technical and creative abilities.

• Areas covered include:
• Getting to know your Camera (Megapixels, Resolution, and File Formats)
• Exposure (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed) and Metering
• Histograms
• White Balance
• Camera Modes
• Composition Techniques
• Basic lighting techniques
• Focusing
• Photographic exhibition

The photography club’s exhibition, on display in the Outer Hall, is just one excellent example of four parents who wanted to understand how to work creatively and confidently with their DSLR cameras.

Photography exhibitors: Alex Crossley, Annie Crabtree, Alison Leinster & Jo Gudgin.
