Project 52
52 weekly photo tutorials
Difficulty:
We start with the basics and by the end of the year you'll be taking photos like a pro.
Time:
We'll post one photo tutorial each week - it's up to you how long you spend on each one.
You'll need:
A digital camera, and we'll be aiming the tutorials at users who have manual controls on their camera (eg an 'S' mode and an 'A' mode, not just a 'P' mode or a few presets like 'portrait' or 'landscape').
What is Project 52?
One photography project each week for a year. We'll start with the basics and move on from there.
Who is it for?
The course starts out at a beginner level but by the end of January you'll know all you need to in order to start getting creative. Also for intermediate level photographers wanting a refresher or just some inspiration.

This is so carefully structured, I am inspired to see what I can achieve from beginner level in one year. For a keen 'snapshot' photographer this is just what I need.
Hope you are making progress. Emma.
