Brandon Foto-Imaging Group has announced the launch of a new, six-week course helping beginners to master the basics of good photography. The free lessons starting this month will enable local people to understand their cameras better and to take, print and enjoy better pictures. The course will culminate in an exhibition of photographs taken in and around Brandon by course participants.

 

The course is run by Brandon Foto-Imaging Group, a new community group set up by experienced local amateur photographers Noel Cator and Doug Kendall to help others access enjoyment from photography. The sessions are funded by a grant from Forest Heath District Council.

 

Noel Cator, co-founder of Brandon Foto-Imaging Group, explained: "Good photography is a skill and past time that can enhance peoples lives. Too many people fail to get the best out of their cameras. These sessions will be friendly, practical and straightforward, enabling anyone to take pleasure and pride out of capturing a good photo.

We are very excited about the final exhibition. Brandon is a beautiful, picturesque area. We hope to foster pride for where we live by celebrating photographs taken by local people of local sights.

The course begins on Tuesday 22nd June, 7.30-9.30pm at Brandon Church Institute on London Road and runs bi-weekly; 6th July, 20th July, 3rd August, 17th August, 31st August. The exhibition or work produced will take place in September.

The course is open to all adults. Young people under the age of 18 are welcome but must be accompaneid at all time by a parent or guardian. Everyone is encouraged to bring their cameras along.
