Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    I was wondering around RSPB Ham Wall heard a noise just above my head and saw these two long tail tit fledgling flitting amongst the branches begging their parents for food. They then settled on the branch closest to me and sat relaxing allowing me to take some photos. They were as interested in watching me as I was in photographing them!

    Taken at Silverstone F1 on Qualification day. F11 1/80 at 135mmTook numerous photo's on the day with a very low hit rate! The cars are doing doing around 150mph at the position we were in, took a while to get the panning right and a bit more experimentation to get at a low enough shutter speed to blur the background and the chain link fence.Will 100 be going back next year and up in a grandstand!

    The dazzling displays that low cloud cover and autumn spiders bring. I'll return to photographing dewy spiderwebs. I was in a rush and wish I'd spent more time to get closer to the subject and use less crop, but next time.
