Photography course

Dear Mr. Alex Nikon

My name is David Gorricho and I'm interested in the photography course. I'm 20 years old and I'm studying computer engineering.

Last february, I recieved a reflex camera as a present for my 20th birthday. I thought that it would be easy to take good photos with a camera like that, but I've realised that it's not as simple as I supposed. I have taken a lot of photos with my new camera, some of them are really good, but I have the feeling that they are not good enough. I think that I could do better photos if I'd change some parameters and I wouldn't take the photos in automatic mode. But the problem is that I don't know what parameters I have to change and is because of that, that I'm interested in this course.

The other thing that I'd like to learn in the course are some tips about raster graphics editor. I've installed on my computer Photoshop and GIMP and I know basic things about them. But I know that both of them have a lot of options that I don't know and I'm interested in knowing how to use them. I'd like to know how to change the exposure, brightness, sharpness and all of these parameters to make the photo looks better.

Yours faithfully,

David Gorricho
