i will take the free course of Sunday 15th April, can you take me more information ?? can i access ?? many thanks
Hi Chiara – yes, you’d be very welcome, just get in contact with Terence on 07530 157132 or by email: photos@rowntreepark.org.uk. There are some spaces available for the activity.
What’s the difference between Amateur and Enthusiast / Professional? Is it skill level or equipment used?
Graham says: The answer depends entirely on how you see your level of ability. It does not depend on the equipment used. A good photographer can take a much better picture on a £100 camera than someone who’s not sure what they are doing with a £1000 camera. We trust that all professionals, semi-professionals, camera club enthusiasts and similar people will own up to their level of skill.
Very true and thanks for the answer looking forward to entering.
