PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCES - Basic Camera Techniques
The Basic Camera Techniques experience is recommended mainly for beginners to show the benefits of moving away from the "Auto" setting on their camera.
You will learn about aperture and speed priority settings, depth of field basics and will be introduced to the manual settings on your camera, though not in great detail. You will also gain a basic understanding into the rules of composition and will instantly see the difference in your photography.
There are two Basic Camera Techniques experiences and both will take you on location to the beautiful Sierra de Cabo de Gata; a relatively easy but undulating walk from the centre of San José.
- 2 hour experience:
This is an introduction to Basic Camera Techniques and will take you the stunning cove of Cala Higuera (on foot from San José) to learn and practice your skills.
The cost of this experience is: €25 per person (minimum group of four people required) - 4 hour experience:
This experience will introduce you to the manual settings on your camera and will take you a number of locations from San José e.g. Cala Higuera, Playa de la Calilla, Playa de los Genoveses. You will learn and practice your skills in a wider range of landscape and lighting situations.
The cost of this experience is: €40 per person (minimum group of four people required).
Depending on availibility and sufficient client interest, there may be options to travel further afield in this experience. If this is the case, the price would be between: €50 - €60 per person depending on location and duration (this can be up to six hours). Typical locations to visit (outside San José) would be Tabernas Desert (badlands), Los Escullos, Isleta del Moro, Rodalquilar. These extended experiences may be combined with clients attending the Totally Manual experience.

TESTIMONIALS
I didn't have a clue how to use my new SLR so just used the default setting, the photos were OK but with Martyn's guidance and infectious enthusiasm, I know more about my camera and my photos have improved greatly. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Pablo Hernandez, San José, Spain
Martyn's passion and love for his subject is second to none. I learned so much in such a short space of time and am looking forward to more of the same.
Sally Rolls, Knutsford, UK
Though I pick up lots of useful tips, it was worth going on this taster course for the locations alone. There is some spectacular and beautiful scenery around San José and the beaches are to die for.
