Other information

If you want to stop your camera making all the decisions and take control over your photos, this class is for you. Aimed at the total beginner, over four weeks we will cover the exposure triangle, how aperture, shutter speed and ISO impact your photos and basic composition.

We will also discuss shooting formats and briefly cover editing software. It is hoped that participants practise what is discussed between classes, but this is not mandatory.

This class is also suitable for people thinking about buying a new mirrorless camera and wish to learn more before purchasing.

REQUIREMENTS: Camera and camera manual. Whilst aimed at mirrorless camera users, all camera types are welcome.

TUTOR: Kay is an avid amateur photographer, with a special passion for wildlife.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
