Basic Photography

Dedicated to Eric Kimbelea "ACE" - one of South Africa's greatest soccer players!

The first course in Ace's Photography is Bird-Flight Photography. This type of photography has been chosen as the first course because it will give the student an understanding of all types of photography and better prepare him/her for other lessons. After completing Bird-Flight Photography, you can move on to Portrait Photography, Wedding Photography, Nature Photography and then Sport's Photography. Ace will keep track of your progress, grade your examinations, and issue your graduation certificates. Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of taking pictures!
