Cheap Photography Courses

[carebear]

anyone know of any cheap photography courses i could do?

i bought a nikon d40 at the start of the year with a twin lens kit (18-55mm and a 55-200mm)

to be honest, i've only used it on my holiday in fiji at the start of the year, and took a heap of fantastic shots all on the auto settings lol

i want to learn more about the manual side of things.

i'm also wanting to learn about the different lens' available, what they all are good for etc.

i have attached one of my fave fiji pics

thanks

i did see some short courses offered by a tafe (in my price range) but there seemed to be several offered by the tafe, all seemed to be the same sort of thing, but somehow different, but didn't have enough info to know which to do.

i also saw your thread and copied and pasted the tips into a word document so might try fiddling with that first

i find that i haven't used the camera since because it's so big lol my compact camera fits in my handbag so much easier... altho i got around that in fiji by wrapping my camera in a sarong and sticking it in my backpack when we went places lol
