Learning Photography
THE PROBLEM
You have a good eye and you are seeing good pictures but they just aren’t coming out the way you wanted
THE SOLUTION
Because your eyes constantly make everything APPEAR normal you now need to learn how the film and lenses record light, scenes and color and then, how it renders those factors on film and print. Few of us realize how powerful the mind is in blocking
out what we don’t want to see AND how well it can correct bad lighting.
Until we learn those lessons we will not have the knowledge or skills to MAKE photographs the way WE want them.
You can spend a small fortune on courses that will get to the fun part right
away. That give you assignments to take photos you aren’t interested in and overwhelm you with a lot of hi-tech phrases. They’ll teach you how to talk the talk. HOWEVER, until you learn the basics your castle will be built on sand.
We have created a course that is simple and quick. It is designed to be easy-to-understand, yet full of solid information. It will provide the basics YOU MUST learn, and then allow you to go off to any specific subject you have interest in. Each of these “special” subjects will add more basics, plus offer photographs and other visual aids to illustrate the point, and pass on tips and tricks to help you.
