You will need your portfolio uploaded to the internet, (dropbox, flickr or a website) and a notebook and a pen.

This photography session gets you playing with shutter speeds in manual mode to create abstract photographs using available light sources on location, we will capture light trails and vehicle headlights moving in an otherwise still scene. This session is so much fun and is a great way to get you used to using manual mode without worrying about the final result. The abstract nature of the images means there's no 'correct' settings, it's just down to personal preference, but we will explore how the different settings alter the result we get in camera, which will in turn help you with other areas of photography.

We will specifically look at the following:

• How to Work with Available Light
• How to Use Manual Mode
• Understanding Shutter Speed
• Understanding Aperture
• Understanding ISO
• Using a Tripod
• Using Timers
• Analysing Images
• Working with Colours
