Does anybody know where i can do an evening class one or two nights a week? I used to take quite a few photos of bands and have been published but i need some technical guidance really as i'd like to get back into it :)

Hi, you could try one of the colleges, but you have to get in quick, photography is very popular, and colleges don't seem to meet the demand for them, otherwise I think the Open University do something, can't be sure.

Open Uni definitely do a course.

The reviews for the course seem a bit hit and miss, it appears it relies on discussion between people enrolled rather than feedback from tutors.

I keep toying with the idea of signing up, but never seem able to find the money!

Most of the stuff you would learn on a course can be found in online tutorials that people kindly share.

Developing an eye for a picture... read the photography forums, read magazines, study other people's images - what makes them work? Why does a particular picture fail to grab you? etc etc.

Thanks for going to the trouble of typing all that for me, much appreciated :)
I am really looking for a class as i learn much better that way where i can ask questions as they come up and actually show me how to do something rather than online. I started on a City & Guilds course about 10 years ago but stupidly didn't continue with it. Open Uni sounds interesting though, so will have a look into that, cheers.
