Short course for research project

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking to see if anyone knows of short (6-weekish) photography courses in Dublin? I know I could Google it and ask around, but I trust you guys and I know there's some talented photographers - I've been looking at your stuff for a while now and love it :)

    I'm a freelance journalist and hopefully I'll be travelling to Vietnam in the summer to do a research project on development issues. I can borrow a decent camera from a lecturer I know in DIT's Media Department, but knowing how to use the camera properly is essential, as I'm hoping to design a photo slideshow along with an article.

    So, can you help me? Cheers, guys

    If you are getting a loan of a camera from a lecturer, then why not throw them a few quid to spend some time out and about with you to help you come to grips with the camera, one-on-one tutoring is going to beat any course hands down. If they go out with you for an hour or two each week and then leave the camera for you to use in between times, you will learn quickly.

    Other than that, check out www.iop.ie for courses, in fact they have a free "Street session" this weekend. which might useful for you:

    Thanks, Dave. Well the lecturers that I know aren't actually photographers themselves, they just have access to the media department's equipment. But I suppose even asking lecturers on the photography course is a pretty good idea - I'll definitely check that out. And thanks also for info on iop.ie, I'll check that out, too! Thanks man, you were the only one who replied :)
