If you have always wanted to capture wildlife but lack the know-how, this could be the course for you.

Photographer and author Iain Green will guide amateur snappers through your camera's various automatic settings and show you how to turn off automatic and still get excellent photos.

If you have been given a new camera for Christmas or want to make more use of the one you have got, this could be the answer.

The session begins with an illustrated explanation of your camera and the basics of composition, followed by a practical photography lesson looking at the flora and fauna.

Suitable for users of all camera types, the content will be tailored accordingly and there will be plenty of chances to gain an insight from one-on-one tuition.

Among the skills you will learn are shutter speeds, apertures, exposure and effective composition.

Booking is essential.
