So I'm guessing some of you probably got a nice new camera for Christmas? Or like many others you've been taking a fair few pictures at various parties and gatherings. Did you know that even simple relatively inexpensive cameras are packed with features and settings that, if you knew how to use, would allow you to take even better pictures?

There's so many really cool and simple to do things with a camera that most people will never know and I'd like to share them with people who are enthusiastic to take better photos.

I'm really pleased to announce that I will be running my "Take Photos Like A Professional" Photography Training Day in Leeds at the Hilton Hotel (situated near Leeds train station) on the 26th May 2012. This is a rare opportunity and I'll be keeping the numbers down. On this practical course I will be sharing my experience and knowledge on cameras, techniques and tricks as well as what to do with the picture after it's taken - photoshopping and image editing. I'll also reveal my professional workflow too!

Coming from London? I've got a number of people further south in London who are interested in attending so I've made the times suitable for those travelling up by train.

See you there!
