Get Out of Auto Mode

You've finally purchased that fancy digital SLR camera you've always wanted. You immediately put it in auto mode and began firing away. You've probably been amazed at the difference in quality, speed and clarity in comparison to that old point-and-shoot, right?

Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Digital SLR cameras beg to be played with outside of auto mode. There's so much you can do with your camera, so get ready to be amazed!

In this four-week workshop, Elisha Snow will show you how to move to the next level in digital SLR photography, exploring what you can do in Program, Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority and other creative operations. You'll delve a little deeper into white balance settings and focus modes. You'll get a refresher on some basic (but important!) composition tips and discover some fun and amazing photo techniques that Elisha has amassed throughout her own learning adventures.

Elisha's passion started a few years ago when she became an editor for Simple Scrapbooks Magazine and traveled the country as a teacher for Creating Keepsakes University (CKU). Her enthusiasm grew as she taught hundreds of people that even a simple Polaroid camera is an amazing tool for creatively freezing a moment in time. And now, several cameras later, she's ready to help instill a passion for photography in you.

Once you've completed this class, you'll never go back to Auto Mode. Remember, you're not just taking a picture—you're creating a memory.

  • Reminder emails when the classroom is updated with new materials
  • Voice message available as streaming audio, downloadable MP3 file and transcript
  • Colorful instructional handouts with how-to details and beautiful photos
