Camera Training Sessions

Hi all,

I've decided to do a regular blog that will help readers understand better ways to photograph with their own cameras. Part of my business includes camera training sessions with my clients. For $50/ hour, I will sit down one on one (or with a group) and better explain the functions and best operating techniques to help you create higher quality photographs.

This week I'll start with the basics, manual operation. When you choose to use your camera in full manual mode you choose to override the automatic settings and capture a scene or subject the way your own eyes see it, not how a camera sensor sees it. Personally, I use manual mode in EVERY situation that I shoot. I'm not even sure I have ever even put my own camera on automatic. When I take a photograph (and this is one BIG reason I got into this business) I want the image to turn out the way I see it, or the way that I want it to be seen. This takes the control away from the camera and allows me to adjust to how I want it. Of course, initially, it is a lot more difficult as you will need to learn a little about ISO, exposure, and shutter speeds, but by practicing and having someone patiently teach you it is 

much more fulfilling and will improve your photography exponentially.

If you or someone you know would like to learn more about their camera and how to begin to improve their images feel free to contact me anytime. Until next time...Cheers!
