Dublin Camera Club - Beginner's Courses

I was wondering if anyone has attended the DCC Beginner's Courses before? Dad just retired and is bumming around so thinking about getting him membership and enter him into the course for a x-mas gift

He has expressed a big interest in photography

Can't vouch for that one but I did the beginners course in the photography club in Temple Bar two years ago and found it very helpful. Explained all about exposure, depth of field, composition and everything else in between in two very relaxed and easy to follow 2hr sessions over two weeks. I found it very beneficial and as a complete beginner, my photography improved in leaps and bounds after it. I'd imagine this couse would be the same.

I would also recommend getting a well illustrated photography manual - I have two at home, will dig out the titles for you tonight. Again, explained a lot of the basics well.

Fajitas!

From what I've heard...It really does explain the basics, and very well, but I haven't attended a class there. Perhaps give them a shout to see what they cover?

Has your dad any experience in photography?
