MyPhotoSchool Launches World’s First Online Course on City Photography Using Google Earth 3D Simulation for Planning Photos
Photographer Keith Wilson teaches you how to pre-plan famous city photos from all angles in any weather conditions, day or night.
MyPhotoSchool has launched a new course using Google Earth to pre-plan photography city breaks – the first of its kind in the world. In this four week, online Travel & City Break Photography Course, starting July 7th 2012 (and subsequently the first Saturday of every month), students learn how to plan their city shoot-lists and images using the latest technologies. Duncan Heather, Founder of MyPhotoSchool explains: “Imagine being able to view the Eiffel Tower, from every angle, in all weather conditions, any time of day or night – and pre-plan your image – before you set off! It puts you at a distinct advantage to maximise your photographic potential.”
Keith Wilson, Course Tutor, adds: “Before the Internet, planning meant buying an informative guidebook and map of your destination, and having to figure out the rest when you get there, sometimes missing opportunities for amazing photographs.”
The use of the latest technologies in this MyPhotoSchool course, alongside the personal tuition of photography expert Keith Wilson, ensures that all students are able to hone their photographic knowledge of cities worldwide, before they’ve even left home. Wilson teaches you valuable tips like:
- Look-up the sunrise and sunset times of your destination. This is because architectural landmarks and other city sights look their best when the sun is low in the sky and the light is warm and less harsh.
- Build into your shoot schedule, that east-facing landmarks should be seen in the early morning and west-facing subjects visited in the late afternoon.
Heather goes on to explain: “Navigating an unfamiliar city in bad weather conditions means that usually even the most prepared photographers will miss opportunities. But using the techniques detailed in the course, we can pre-plan prime locations to shoot indoors at museums, galleries and other locations all over the city at the click of a button. Keith goes through the entire process with a culmination in lesson four with a shoot list around London and how it’s planned.”
Furthermore, students are also given insights on how to plan opportunistic photographic city breaks around significant world events like The Venice Carnival or The Sydney Jazz Festival. Wilson covers everything from what to pack, to street photography, legalities and planning for all weather and light conditions. During the course, Wilson trots you round the globe, with rich examples of shots of cities and how to photograph their famous landmarks including: Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Cologne, Bangkok, Kota Kinabalu, Tokyo, St Mark’s Square, Sydney and many more.
You can book a place for Keith’s MyPhotoSchool Travel & City Break Photography Course from today.
