Photography courses???

Mz Lazy

Hey, new to this site! Just wondering does anyone know of some good photography classes, maybe night courses that are worth doing, in and around the Dublin area??? Living in Maynooth so even one near there??? I've been figuring out settings etc on my own but would like to do a course to help me

well, you can ask as much as you want around this forum and people are more than willing to help out.

Is a formal (diploma/degree/etc.) or informal course (short, highly focussed) that you are interested in.

For the less formal, Check out the Institute of Photography - current courses listed here. Others about the place will have done third level stuff and may be able to advise if that is what you are interested in.

I'm starting this one soon: http://www.galleryofphotography.ie/courses/digintro.html. Looked at the IOP course but the dates didn't suit. Reckon both of them will be quite similar as they're aimed at beginners. Might do the creative course at a later date. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

I'm looking to do a photopraphy course too, I think the IOP courses sounds great but unfortunatley I'm strapped for cash, anyone know of free or cheaper courses?

dont know about any free courses, but some courses are not too dear. if you look around your town there might be some, but beware of cheaper courses, cuz i heard that some literally just tell you how to use a camera to tbh and nothing else. you want to find a good course that'll show you how each setting will take different pics etc but at a reasonable price, thats what im looking for too. The link above seems good, like for the beginners course, one night a week for 8 weeks, it seems to cover everything and its only like 250 or something, so not sooo bad and they seem to run a few of them so you could have a few weeks to put money aside for it. thats what im gonna do i think!!

Thanks for getting back to me...I think you're right, I'll probably enroll in an 8 week course cause you get homework & notes to work with which is great for filtering the information while you get some practice...I'm covinced, out comes the piggy bank...best of luck with your course
