Subject: Learning a new skill
Hi!
I've just started an evening photography course1! I bought a second-hand camera last week, but I'm finding it difficult to use2.
What's the best way to practise? Should I go to the park or try taking photos in the city centre3?
Would you like to meet up next weekend and take some photos together4?
Best wishes,
Jo
