Photography - Become a Better Photographer - Part II

Today's DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren't they? 

The great thing is... they have an enormous number of features and settings
The problem is.........they have an enormous number of features and settings!!

And it is a problem, because although there are some real hidden gems amongst all those features, they can seem confusing or intimidating, and so a lot of photographers simply ignore or shy away from them (you know who you are!!) 

This course, aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers, covers DSLR and Mirrorless basic settings, but also explains your camera's more advanced features and settings. You probably already know about some of these settings but not entirely sure how and when to use them, and there may even be some that you're not even aware of! 

• Watch photos being taken and compared using different settings

• Real life examples filmed in the real world

• Clear, concise and effective photography training that works

• See immediate improvements in your photos

• Easy to follow and understand, with a fun teaching style

• All boring bits removed (well, most of them anyway!)

Important please note that for completeness, 6 of these 33 lectures are repeated from the Part I course, mainly the ones on 'Basic Settings'. This is so that students only taking this course still have access to those videos.
