Hello folks! In view of the overwhelming response of the first and second BPC at Stanley Lim Colour Centre, i've decided to start another class right after the completion of the current intake.
I started out on the wrong foot 15yrs ago, thinking that i'd done it all with self-taught photography skills. However, upon receiving professional instruction further down the road, i realized that i was doing many things wrongly. As a result, i now what it feels like to be on the "dark side" and literally in the dark about many things regarding photography. I am currently a full-time professional photographer, with experience in wedding photography, commercial shoots and makeover photography. The course will include the following, but is not limited to:
1)Inner & Outer workings of cameras
2)Factors involved in exposure & their effects
3)What lenses do to your pictures
4)Composition & the acceptable picture
5)Maintenance
This is a rough outline of the course. S$200 for 5 lessons (2 theory,3 outdoor practicals). We'll do day and/or night shoots on Sundays. Make up lessons/remedial lessons will be provided if you miss any/anything. We live, we learn, we share, and make our dreams come true on Thursday theory sessions. 8pm-10pm. Lessons may be longer than 2hrs. Digital/Film cameras are welcome, and MUST allow full manual control. If you have any difficulties on the equipment, please speak to me.
Set for 28th Oct, 2004, to be held at Stanley Lim Colour Centre, 122 Middle Road, Midlink Plaza, #02-03.
Pls feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Deposit of $50 one week prior and full payment on the first lesson is preferred.
Lesson schedule is tentatively set as:
BPC3 Theory#1 - 28 Oct, 2004 8pm-10pm
BPC3 Practical#1 - 31 Oct, 2004 4pm-6pm

BPC3 Practical #2 - 07 Nov, 2004 6-8pm
