    Courses can be good, but what could be better is meeting other photographers and shooting with them, there are a few of us here so we can all help. When I'm out and about your more then welcome to tag along!

    Would you be interested in joining a camera club? When I got my first DSLR I just wanted to learn lots more and I have to say I learnt a lot from attending the camera club. It does motivate you to go out and take photos and its interesting to see other peoples' work as well.

    I went on to do the two year course at LCFE and I have to say what I learnt just from going to talks and listening to other members really stood to me.

    I have been a member of the Limerick Camera Club for a few years now and if you want more info you can look at their website or pm me. The club meets every Wednesday evening in Mary I and will be starting back mid September.

    Camera clubs can be good; but I find a lot of them (especially LCC, no offence!) are a bit too cliquey and you get no real critique. When I first went I kinda got the impression that a lot of people were like.. "oh yeah.. I like but; But I can do better! Come over here and look at mine!"

    But OP Defo, give it a try, I personally don't like it is all.

    I did the FETAC course about 4 years ago in LCFE. It was good but could have been better. Too much emphasis placed on learning photoshop and not enough on using the camera. I think out of 10 weeks, 5 were spent in front of a computer. The course was well taught though - the lecturer was great.

    The curriculum may have changed since, so you might want to check it out if you're interested.

    Whelans have a sign on their window advertising a photography course on Sept 7, no idea of content, duration or cost.

    Thanks for all the good feedback! Still on the fence but I think I will try and grab a look at the curriculum before I sign up- I am more interested in the actually taking photos rather than the photoshop end

    The photo-club sound great and I will keep an eye on the web-site to see when its back up and running. Als,o very new to Limerick so it might be a good way to meet some people
