NEW Photography course

by | Apr 22, 2025 | Community, Swan Courses, Swansea Today

This course will lead you through the controls on your camera to basic camera setting so every photo is clear and interesting. Lead by an experienced and qualified photographer, you will complete the course with a portfolio of photos to be proud of.

At each session you will learn new technical skills and creative ideas. And, weather permitting, the group will visit different places of interest within the City each week so that you build up your own local interest selection of shots. We will try to cover the historical background for each visit so that you learn more about Swansea.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided and the course is free, but a small, none-obligatory donation will be appreciated  to help cover the costs.
