Capturing the Outdoors
Duration: 20 hours
Summary
This course will take place outdoors, as much as the weather allows, and encourages you to carefully observe your surroundings in a way that most of us don’t while we are out during our busy lives. In urban areas there are often architectural features on buildings that we only notice when we look up towards the rooftops. Old machinery and patterns in the countryside can be missed if we choose to focus on the path ahead. Our varied coastline has a myriad of features, often indicating powerful natural forces or our own maritime link with the sea. We will try to observe these and capture their images with one photograph chosen for each walk that we take. Learners will be encouraged to use their own cameras/phones, although we can supply basic digital cameras.

- Use a phone or camera to capture a chosen image
