MY STORY
About 10 years ago I bought my first digital SLR camera and I had no idea how to use it. Sure I had used an old manual Pentax K1000 film camera and then I had a nice Sony point and shoot camera but they didn't prepare me for all of the new functions, features, and software for this new digital SLR. I was lost and I thought the only way my photography would get better was to buy more expensive equipment. Surely better a better camera will make me a better photographer. Well I learned the hard way that it didn't. Eventually I got help and put this new knowledge into practice. Then my images got better.
Does this sound like you? Do you have a new expensive camera and you're still using it in the full auto modes to take snapshots?
You will never make the images you want to make until you learn to control your camera. If you're happy in auto mode taking snapshot this class is not for you. As our website name suggests we are all about going past the snapshot and making images the way you want to make them, not the way your camera makes them.
More Than A Snap Shot: A Digital Photography Workbook
$5.00 in PDF format (86 pages)
This e-book is for anyone interested in learning to control their digital SLR and make better quality images. The book contains 28 easy to follow lessons for any beginner to get up and running with their digital SLR. The lessons give you clear objectives plus all the background knowledge you will need to complete the assignments. The assignments target what you have just learned and give you a practical way to go out and practice these new techniques.
Let's face it if you want to become a better photographer you have to know you camera inside and out and you have to practice. Anyone who has ever tried to master anything knows you have to practice and practice with purpose. Random fooling around with your camera is better than nothing but focused practice with a purpose such as in my e-book will give you the biggest gains in the shortest period of time.

Top 10 Reasons you should register for this class:
1. Online classes are convenient. Learn from home at your own pace when its convenient for you.
2. You get a coach! Yep, its me. I'll be there whenever you have questions. Plus I'll critique your images so you can improve even faster.
3. You'll have access to more than 8 hours worth of informative slide shows that will teach you all of that technical stuff you need to know.
4. You'll also have access to plenty of what I call technical lessons. In these lessons I take you through using certain functions on your camera and let you practice. These lessons are not about making great images, they are about getting use to using your camera effectively so that when you're on that great trip and faced with a great photo opportunity you won't freeze up. You'll have practiced and you'll know just what to do.
5. You'll also have access to plenty of artistic lessons. In these lessons image quality does matter. This is where you show what you've learned with images that you've created, not just snapshots. These are the images I'll critique.
