Learn how you, not the camera, can control the look of an image. This course is designed for those who want to learn more about photography basics and manual exposure settings.
Today’s cameras offer the photographer a wealth of tools. Taking your camera off the auto mode gives you the opportunity to use them to craft compelling images.
Understanding how your camera makes an exposure will help you decide which settings to use to freeze or blur motion and control the depth of field to capture the image you want.
