    Hi, I'm looking into Photography courses in Dublin city centre.
    I'm more or less a novice who owns an SLR. I would like to do a course that help me to make the most out of my camera and how to take a good photo. I'd perfer not to rely too much on software!

    I was looking into the following course
    http://www.digitalbeginners.ie/courses/creative_night.htm

    It looks good but is a little on the expensive side - I just wondered if anyone can recomment it? (or another course). Any night except wednesday suits me!

    Many Thanks

    The Institute of Photography / Digital Beginners courses are usually highly recommended - while they may appear a little expensive / recession, etc... you will find they are about 1 million times better than what you'd get in most run of the mill nightcourses. It would be a great boost to your photographic journey.

    As you are looking for city centre, have you thought of joining the Dublin Camera Club. As far as I can recall they run courses specifically for beginners at a reasonable rate over a number of weeks. Cabansail (a fellow photography moderator) is involved there so he maybe able to add / clarify this too. You can also tag along on club nights (Tuesday) for a few weeks without obligation to see if you like the bunch that are involved - given that at least half of them are from about these virtual parts I think they are pretty good people.

    The IOP / Digital Beginners stuff is good. The DCC stuff is also good and gives you a choice. That choice is ultimately yours.

    Thanks for asking this, saved me the trouble. I have been thinking the same thing, as I am DEEPLY in need of a good refresher course.

    Signed up for upcoming night course with IOP too - looks very impressive!

    The Dublin Camera Club course whilst much cheaper did not seem as in depth (at least not the currently advertised course) and their inclusion of darkroom methods was a large turn off for me - I purely will concentrate on digital.

    Another option is the Gallery of Photography in temple bar, I did an intro to creative photography course with them last year and it really was exactly what i was looking for, learned how to use my SLR and all about history of photography and what makes a photograph look good, rule of thirds etc. also didnt do any computer based stuff... Going to do a computer based course now soon!!!
