| So what is the best way to learn photography? |
| |
| Books and the internet are a great resource for |
| finding information but is it the way you like |
| to learn? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Photography is such a practical medium that |
 |
| requires, for the most part, a hands on approach |
| with image feedback and suggestions for |
| ways to improve image quality. |
| |
| Digital cameras allow instant image preview |
which is great as a learning aid but does it
|
| mean you're an instant pro photographer? |
| |
| Photo Image Campus has been helping |
| photography enthusiasts and aspiring |
| professional photographers for over 15 years. |

| A practical approach to learning basic and |
| creative photography with image feed back |
| as a major element both in the classroom and |
