[VikingPhotography]

The local arts centre used to have a chap who ran a short course in photography; I don't know what his syllabus was exactly but, to cut a long story short, he doesn't teach it anymore - despite high demand for the course (there was always a long waiting list to get on it apparently)

So: the better half and I have been discussing whether I should fill the slot and start a course there myself. I was thinking the following.

The course will largely cover the technical details of photography rather art or composition; I'd concentrate in issues such as aperture, shutter speeds, ISO values, depth-of-field, on-camera flash, remote flash and basic accessories such as diffusers, brollies etc. I'd also touch on the digital darkroom and issues such as colour management and profiling.

It would be aimed mostly at dSLR users, although prosumer and P&S users would obviously benefit too.

I'm thinking that between eight to twelve two-hour classes would cover it; one each week, allowing plenty of time to go over course content and include Q&A as we go. I'd printed have hand-out materials as well for each subject too.

So: the questions I'd like to field to you is this:

What would you pay for attending such a course??

and

What content that has not been mentioned would you like to see in a syllabus?
