INTRODUCTION TO FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
Re-live the days of photography before memory cards and Photoshop. You will go out with a film camera (after learning how to load it with film) and explore the local area. You will then process the film and produce a contact sheet from which to select your best images. Time permitting, you may be able to enlarge a favourite image.
Bring your own film camera if you prefer, or we can provide one (manual or fully auto.) No need for much technical expertise, although a knowledge of exposure – apertures and shutter speeds – would be useful, but not essential.)
