Thanks crazyterrier for the great find. The course levels cover abilities from beginner, intermediate and advanced photography. It's an especially good deal as online photography courses can cost £100s.

    Had a quick look till I got to "Stick with one film (and film) speed until you thoroughly understand how it works …. at least for the first 5 or 6 rolls" but then wondered how up to date the course is! Does anyone use film these days?

    Not many no... the basic concepts are exactly the same though so it doesn't matter how up to date it is. Film speed is measured as 100, 200, 800 etc ISO, - digital SLR cameras have settings to replicate this. Lowest numbers available are for the very brightest environments (in a studio with bright lights, or outside on a bright day), highest numbers for inside where it's very dimly lit.

    Basically a 100 ISO film needs more light to get the same result in the same time - ie outdoors on a bright day - and gives the best, clearest picture. An 800 speed film needs less light for the same result, but can have a 'grainy' look to it - this used to be what you'd have to use in a really dark environment (ie indoors/gig photography etc).

    The only thing missing really from digital SLRs is that lovely black and white grainy image, other than that they work just the same way :)

    I certainly still use film and always take both a retro film camera and a dslr out with me. As lightisfading says, there's nothing like a grainy image!
  • Great stuff - I need to brush up on my photography skills
  • Having had a look through I don't think it's actually that great IMO, there are a lot better tutorials out there, including www.cambridgeincolour.com/

  • The site does cover digital photography too. The menus could use some updating, but with the search you can find a lot of good lessons.
