DURHAM teenagers are to get a lesson in digital photography from a photographer featured on television.
Neil Atkinson, presenter of Tyne Tees TV's A Moment in Time, is to give a lesson to about a dozen 16-year-olds from local schools at the Durham branch of the youth service Connexions.
He will show the youngsters how to take digital pictures in a session at the service's offices in Millennium Place, Claypath, and then take them on a tour of the city to put their new skills into practice.
School leavers interested in learning photography are being invited to the session on Wednesday, August 3.
It is part of the County Durham Connexions Free Voice Summer Activities Programme that will be held on Wednesdays in August.
Personal advisor Tom Lynn said: "We originally asked Neil to come in for an hour but he offered to come in for the day.
"The aim of the session is to make it fun and educational as well. Some of these young people may not have used a digital camera before.''
