Free online photo courses courtesy of Chris Bray
Award-winning Australian Geographic photographer Chris Bray is releasing his popular photography course as a series of free videos online at ChrisBrayPhotography.com
Combining a great mix of practical advice, examples and easy-to-understand theory, this 1 day photography course - previously $480 – quickly became a success with Chris and his team presenting it all around Australia and New Zealand, helping several thousand people gain more enjoyment from their passion - one small group at a time.
Mr. Bray says “The time has come to throw open the doors and let everyone from around the world enjoy this course for free online - we’re just getting too busy running our photography tours around the world now to keep running these courses too.”
Divided into 10 sequential sections, each video features plenty of examples, animations and easy-to-understand explanations to guide you right through from basic camera setup and composition, to aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, ISO, lighting, lenses, histograms, white balance and more. The first 4 sections are already online for free at ChrisBrayPhotography.com/courses
For viewers who want something more tangible, there is a handbook that goes with the course which you can buy online which used to be given out to attendees on the day. The course handbook is an all-in-one, compact yet comprehensive 32-page, colour, shove-in-your-camera-bag photography guide covering everything from the lectures.
Also available from the website is their set of plastic summary ‘cheat-cards’ that clip on the neck-strap of your camera to serve as a convenient reminder for all the most important points from the course. See ChrisBrayPhotography.com/courses for details.
