The very first batch of the Basic Photography Workshop for 2009 has completed its 5-day seminar (January 3,10,17,24 & Feb 7) with the successful participants receiving their awards and certificates of completion from the FPPF. The class went through a series of lectures and hands-on training on subjects that included basic operation of a DSLR camera, elements of design, composition, basic portraiture and studio lighting.
