Colour Photography (two or three-day breaks)

These breaks are for people wanting to use colour transparency material either advanced workers or those using 'slides' for the first time. Your first day will cover metering and film choice then go out to take photographs. Your colour slide films will be processed overnight (2-hour dry to dry) in our on-site E-6 processor. Some users will be interested in taking their film images forward for digital printing and this can be covered on a three-day course.

Includes processing for one film only; does not include film. We can advise on what film to bring or you can buy from us at a reasonable price. Additional films processed at £5 per film (unmounted).
