I get it! You purchased this big DSLR camera thinking you could take it out of the box and instantly create. Then suddenly it's like, what the f/stop is going on?!?! What is this mythical language, and why are there so many buttons?
Even turning it on feels overwhelming, but you love taking pictures, and know if someone could just break it down for you, it could "click."
I am here to guide you!
In 2007, I took a job in the photography industry and purchased my first camera. There I was surrounded by creative people, with a shiny new camera that made me look like an expert. However, I had no idea what I was doing. I watched videos on YouTube but couldn't get the pieces to click into place. Exposure seemed like a foreign language that I was never going to learn.
Do these questions sound familiar?
•What does Fstop mean?
•Am I supposed to shoot wide open?
•Why isn't the whole image in focus?
•Where are those gorgeous buttery backgrounds?
In this course, we'll break it down and explain how to go from shooting wide open to closed down.
You get the itch to switch to manual, but then every darn image is blurry…what gives? Why can't you capture something that is tack-sharp? It can be beyond frustrating, especially when trying to get those most important moments.
In this course, you'll understand why the blur happens and how to control it. Use it as an artistic advantage or move your settings to eliminate it.
Yeah, what is ICE-O?!?! Do you find your images are too bright or too dark? You can’t seem just to capture the light how it is. You know there is something you can change without using a flash.
Well, it's actually pronounced I-S-O, and in this course, you'll learn how it brings light into your sensor and helps structure the image you envision.
Once you understand the mythical language of the exposure, it's important to learn the balance and how changes to one setting affect the other two.
It is way less scary than it sounds, and with practice, changes to the exposure triangle become muscle memory, like riding a bike.
Making the switch from aimless photos to creative capture.
Like a painter who plans their canvas or a sculptor with a vision for their slab, planning a photograph is a powerful way to ensure you create something meaningful.
Stop taking images and start making images.
When we consider our responsibility for our images, we see that, with a bit of extra care and craftsmanship, we can turn our captured moments into art that draws the user in and makes the image unforgettable.
Safeguard your digital files.
If you love taking photographs, have deemed yourself the family historian, or are an artist of any kind, documenter, or memory maker, you must have an image backup plan. It's the digital age, and you need your plan to keep up with the times.
Dream big, and plan to achieve the things that matter to you.
