Mastering Your Leica M: Functions, Features & Photography Training
New to Leica and want to feel fully in control of your camera? This workshop is designed for beginners who want clear, practical foundations. We start with your camera: buttons, menus, autofocus and light metering and a sensible setup so the camera works for you. After a short break for lunch on location, we cover the essentials of photography: the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), white balance, and simple, effective composition tools. We then take it outside for a guided, hands-on session to immediately put the new skills into practice so you leave with confidence and images to prove it. This workshop welcomes all Leica M models. Expect plenty of time for questions and personal guidance throughout the day.Who this is for
