£175.00

Introduction
This course shows you that you can get really professional looking images using just a smartphone. Whether you use iPhone or Android phones, this course will show how we can use some of the huffed features of smartphone to create amazing professional automotive images. We explore composition, angles, light and typically have 2 cars - one classic and one new - to practise on throughout the day. much of the time is learning in front of the vehicles, but weather may make this a challenge, so we can easily move inside and practise there too!

How the day is composed:

We have minimised classroom time to 2 hours at most so you will spend 4 out of 6 hours of your workshop going out to take pictures and edit them on the go. At the end of the workshop you will be able to:

1. Use the native camera app effectively: Shoot beautiful images using the built in camera app including pictures with blurry out of focus (bokeh) backgrounds and close ups.Getting the right camera angles and position fo stunning automotive images.

2. Use additional apps to create special effects: contrary to popular belief, long exposures, different depth of field and even night light trails are also possible with the iPhone with the use of specific apps.

3. Edit photos on the phone quickly and post them on social media: No point carrying a small phone and a big laptop so editing on the phone with powerful editing applications would allow you to show off your photos on social media even before you get home after the workshop!

   Part one: Cover the basics of the smartphone features including holding, digital zoom, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, shooting modes and focusing. Some of this is in the classroom and some of this is using the cars.
   
   Part two: After a short break to re-fuel, we will discuss automotive story-telling, tricks to create eye-catching compositions, angles, details and how to make the best of whatever lighting situation you find yourself in. The day unfortunately has to come to an end, with a session beginning to explore how to process your images using some free and some paid for apps, ensuring you return home with a variety of images to be proud of.
