Photography Students Show Off their Talent at Holy Trinity Church

Strode College students who have been attending evening classes for aspiring photographers will be displaying their work to the public at Holy Trinity Church in Street from 18 - 25 March.

The eight-week course, designed for anyone wishing to improve their digital photography skills,  was originally intended for around a dozen students. It proved so popular that a second session was added, and a total of 36 students signed up.
This is the first event to be hosted by Holy Trinity, who are inviting other organisations to get in touch if they may need a space for an exhibition, a concert or other similar use.  Church Warden Susie Williams said: "We want to open our doors and welcome in the community. The church has not been open until now but will be every lunchtime, and for a token charge, local groups are welcome to hire it at other times."
Strode College are planning to run a series of one-day photography courses throughout the year. Provisional titles include:

• Introduction to Digital Photography
• Introduction to Photoshop
• Improving Your Holiday Snaps; Photo Restoration
• Photographing Documents and other techniques for Family Historians

Historic and wildlife instructed photography tours are other possibilities - and there may be a chance to become a 'press photographer' for a day!
The eight-week evening courses will be running again from October and January 2012
