Composition
Photography tuition for both digital and film cameras, providing many years of valuable knowledge & inspiration. I also present you with a small publication, which expands on the days tuition & produce a fine art print of your best work from the day.
Yorkshire Dales professional photography courses cover all aspects of landscape photography. Photographic tuition is tailored for the individual, but upon request I can cater for small parties. All dates are based on a full one days course in the heart of the Dales; weekend packages / short breaks in the Dales or a location of your choice can be arranged. Digital & film cameras are covered, and if required, an introduction to the digital darkroom is provided. For more information please refer to galleries section 'Photographic Courses' or contact me: info@garyfitch.co.uk
If accomodation is required please get in touch and I can advise/arrange suitable places within Settle or neighbouring areas.

Monitor Colour Management
All monitors vary in how they display images, particularly photographs, due to the wide range of colours, contrast & brightness. Ideally your monitor should be calibrated using specialist hardware & software, but I appreciate most don't need to go to these lengths just for viewing purposes.
In the gallery section 'Monitor Calibration' you will find a graduated step wedge from pure white to total black. Enlarge this image and use the contrast, brightness & colour controls of your monitor to:
(1) make each wedge discernable from the next with the contrast set around 50% and adjust brightness as necessary (70-80%)
(2) as neutral grey as possible using the (RGB) Red, Green & Blue sliders. Using the on screen display (OSD) accessed via your monitor, select colour temperature and in most instances reduce the blue slider (amount) untill the step wedge & white background is neutral in colour. The red and green will probably be around 50% and can be left at this.
Most modern LCD displays will show a blue colour cast. This should to some degree give a fairer representation of my work. However to see the true beauty of the fine art printing process (as discussed in the prints section) you can order a proof print from the relevant gallery section.
