Have you recently purchased or received a digital SLR or feature-laden point-and-shoot camera as a gift? Bewildered as to how to get the best results from it? I have developed a 2-hour Digital Photography for Beginners course as well as three comprehensive 3-hour hands-on instruction Modules that can help. These are delivered in the London, Ontario area. One-on-One Instruction takes place in my home. As the name implies, it means you get more personal attention to your questions than you would in a classroom situation. Depending on scheduling, you may be sharing the course with up to 3 other people, or have me all to yourself. One-on-One Courses: Digital Photography for Beginners Perfecting the Photograph in the Camera (Module 1) Photoshop® CS5 Introduction (Module 2) Photoshop® CS5 Advanced Concepts (Module 3) 3 Module Package (Module 1 + Module 2 + Module 3)
