Introduction for Beginners
Welcome to Camera Images
On this website you will find information on one to one personal tuition and a unique range of courses, for those interested in using Nikon Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras, as well as photographic related business courses, and picture framing.
We run hands on courses utilising Nikon D40, D40x, D50, D70, D80, D90, D100, D200, D300, D2H and D2x,as well as the new D700 and the D3 and D3X camera bodies, a wide range of Nikon and other lenses, flashes, software like Capture NX, and NX2 and many accessories.
About a third of those attending are beginners, or people with minimal experience, often having used their camera up to now in 'point and shoot modes' and we have found we can not only show them how to get the best from their camera, and teach them other skills but also give them the confidence to empower them to tackle a very wide range of photography. Some come back to do further courses, in particular Capture NX editing and some have moved on to look at developing to a professional status even if doing so on a part time basis, allowing their photography to pay its own way.
We are based in a large picturesque property in Cheltenham, the centre of the Cotswolds, with a wide range of photo opportunities both here and really close.
We have become the leaders in one to one training on Nikon cameras, to suit just about any need or interest that you have.

So where should you start
Generally people achieve the least, the larger the group, and the more, the more individual the attention. Tutors know that they cover far less ground with a group than with an individual. A group of three people achieves about five times the subject coverage as a larger group, and an individual on their own achieves about three times what a group of three do. You can see this means that for those that want to achieve a great deal faster, in 3 to 5 days you can cover what would take a group of people attending a residential course a couple of months to achieve.
If you have just one day available, then starting with the HNK course, in a day you become confident and competent, you start with the basics of photography, going fast over what you already understand or can follow and slowing down where necessary to look and experiment, look through many lenses, have a short introduction to editing, get to understand your cameras controls and menus and far more. With more days you can become proficient in editing, mastering flash, macro, and many other specialist areas. When you take more courses including those with some other photographic training providers you can qualify for discounts.
This website has quite a few pages, selecting the button on the left above introduces you to each major area and many of these pages lead to more pages and information. We also have a second website once you have made some progress, got beyond the basics and want perhaps to look at single skills.
Pages that you may like to go to now are:-
-
Most popular day courses, would be a good start, selecting the buttons on the left, will either give you more choices or will go to the page you have requested.
-
One to One - discover just how much you can achieve on one to one training, either on a day or over several days. You can have a day or days arranged to exactly suit your interests, there are suggested multi day courses, and a wide range of suggestions of what you could do in a day. The most common and ideal start point for beginners or those with limited experience is the HNK, Hands on a Nikon day course, although you can add more days to this or take one of the multi day versions which includes the HNK element. If you have the time available why not consider the executive special MD3, that takes 4 days and 3 evenings. there are a lot more options to explore. With all 1 to 1, you get to choose the dates.
-
VIP PLUS - a course that includes nearly everything, for example the course in Ghana West Africa, including training experience, accommodation, food, and 4WD with driver/guide in addition to 1 to 1 photo tutor. The best course on the planet, allowing very rapid training and loads of varied experience.
-
Extended photography skills course, this is a large 18 month course that requires a lot of commitment, maybe worth a look if you are starting out intending to move rapidly to professional status. This is arranged so that you do the parts first that is most relevant to your interests so can get earning fast if you wish. We have many more business courses for those that want to create a full or part time income or just make their hobby pay for itself, after all, all the lenses and other items you would really like, would cost probably more than you choose to spend right now.
You can use the links in blue above or the buttons on the left above to move around the site. The buttons on the first page, go to introductory pages like this one for each interest, you have access to the same pages besides this.
If you don't get on with our menu system, then try using the extended menu option, top option on the menu, this forces all the options to be shown at once, If you still can't find the page, then try the site map.
Through the website you will see many small photographs, clicking on any of these will bring up a larger version in a new window, allowing you to take a look without loosing your place.
When you know what you want to do, you can book directly online, or by post by printing out the booking form.
If you have any problems, can't find exactly what you want to do, or your question is not covered on our Q&A page, or just feel like chatting it over with a real person instead of a computer, then call us. We are available most days from 9am to 9pm, although occasionally for short periods we put the answering machine on. See the contact us page.

| Why
learn with us We are very good photographers (take a look at our limited edition website), that have a lot of photographic experience as well as in both business and training. On the limited edition side, we do the lot ourselves from the photography and editing, through printing to making the frames and framing the images. We are enthusiastic about photography, and take very many photographs ourselves across a wide range of subjects, in some cases just to experiment and discover more of what we can do. We have loads of photographic experience it is unlikely that you, or a professional photographer would have a question that we could not answer. We don't employ or farm out any training to others. We specialise in Nikon DSLR's, and use these ourselves, so we really know these well, what they do, and how to make them produce the best. We could not do this if we tried to cover more makes. We have loads of kit, cameras, lenses, flashes, including a 10 flash mobile studio, and a 5 flash Nikon creative lighting system, a full framing workshop, close up equipment, quite a few computers, and far more, with new items being added all the time. Our list of what we want to buy over the rest of this year will cost more than the total income from training last year. You get to handle and try out lots of it and as we don't sell anything, we can give you a neutral view on all we have and have looked at. We teach people because we enjoy it and want to, we are so confident that everyone will find it is exactly right for them that we offer a 100% money back deal if you do not find it is right for you. As far as we know no one else has the confidence to offer this. So far every single person we have had come to see us has thoroughly enjoyed it with most saying they will be coming back for more days. As you check out the rest of our website you will see why we have become the leader in 1 to 1 Nikon training, with quite a few people flying in from around the world to train with us. I am sure you will agree, we offer the best training, the question comes down to why anyone would settle for anything less. |

100% of people coming to us booked 1 to 1 training over 6 months, so we decided to do just 1 to 1. It's so much better value. The advantages are
