    FINALLY TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAMERA'S SETTINGS

    Have you ever tried to use your camera’s settings but became overwhelmed? Most camera’s give you a ton of options for fine-tuning your photos, but it’s hard to know which ones to use and when. It’s so easy to miss out on great photos simply because you don’t get your settings right and learning on your own can be difficult if you aren’t doing it every day. 

    That’s why we created this bootcamp, to fast-track you’re learning so you’ll be ready to get the shot when you need it most.  We’ll give you tips to hone your reflexes in the field so you’ll always be able to react and adapt to fast-changing situations. And we’ll give you plenty of creative ways to use manual settings and generally improve the quality of your photography.

    Over 6 weeks, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know, covering every facet of the exposure triangle and giving you explicit, easy to implement instructions that you can take directly into the field and have instant success with.

    If you don’t have your settings right, you could end up with a blurry photo like this.

    When you are properly prepared and understand how camera settings work you can get sharp photos every time out.
