Mastering
Manual Mode
Reaching
your full potential as a photographer
You've finally purchased that fancy digital SLR camera and have started shooting pictures in auto mode. You've probably been amazed at the difference in quality, speed, and clarity in comparison to that old point-and-shoot, right? Well, you aint seen nothin' yet! If you haven't taken your DSLR camera out of auto mode, then this class is for you. There's SO much more you can do with your camera, so get ready to be amazed!
In this 8-week class, you'll learn how to reach your full potential in digital SLR photography—exploring what you can do in program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and other creative modes. You'll learn exactly what ISO, shutter speed, and aperture mean individually and how they work together to create that perfect photo. You'll delve into white balance settings and focus modes, and you'll learn more about camera equipment, accessories, and lenses. You'll get a refresher on some basic (but important!) composition tips and discover fun and amazing photo techniques that Elisha has amassed throughout her own learning adventures.
