Perfect your photography skills on a course in Canterbury

Are you someone that looks over their holiday photos in horror as blurred images and giant pink thumbs set about ruining your memories?

If so, it’s time to book yourself on to aJohn Hippisley Photographic Tour before getting snap happy in Kent's oh so photogenic Cathedral city. These one-day courses will teach you how to get the most out of your camera (digital or film) so that you can creatively capture the city’s incredible sights.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner or a budding David Baileys, there’s a course for you, and the best thing is there’s not a complicated manual in sight. Instead, you have a friendly and inspirational guide to take you through composition, shooting techniques, lighting,and yes, when you’ve finished you’ll even understand what all those settings and numbers mean.

But don’t worry, it's not all technical: your eyes are just as important when it comes to capturing the perfect image. As well as a tour of Canterbury’s most picturesque places, there are other courses that explore the beautiful Kent countryside and even give you the chance to snap some of its native wildlife.
