The exercises will be explained fully. This course is perfect for anyone who considers themselves a beginner with their camera or for anyone who has some existing knowledge about how their camera works but hasn’t quite put all the puzzle pieces together when it comes to how aperture and shutter speed work together.

the course sets some basic information and helped me to understand better my camera.
Jason Furtado –
Thank you JP for making overwhelming concepts so easy to understand. Not needing to memorize concepts is the biggest plus of this course. I highly recommend this course to any beginner who wants to learn the basics of how to use their camera.
Karen Weinberg –
I felt that the Instructor not only enjoyed teaching this course but he knew how to impart his knowledge. He felt that using intuition is the best way to learn how to take good photographs and I agree.
Brian Downs –
This has been very easy to understand and the instructor knows his stuff. He comes across very passionate about his work and is happy to share his knowledge.
Deb Fine –
I used the course to review one I already took. It was clear and concise, and reviewing helps the information stick.
Teresa Taylor –
The instructor explained everything in easy to understand language. He made it easy to follow along step by step with my own camera, except for one thing that my camera didn’t have, but his did.
He shows many examples to help you visualize the look you should be going for. I wish there had been more homework activities to practice the different techniques.
I am still unsure about M mode, but now I know how to use the other modes.
Tony Caruso –
So far, this course has been pretty helpful. I am eager to see how it’ll come together the farther along we go. The exercise with the three photos with adjusted exposure compensation was very simple, but powerful. I just want to continue on!
Michelle Waters –
Awesome! This course is exactly what I was looking for – a shorter length, easy to understand yet thorough, true beginner’s guide to the basics of photography and how to use my new Panasonic Lumix G85 camera. I learned so much about how my camera works to capture light, what aperture and shutter speed are, and how I can manipulate those setting in various ways. I now know when I should use the A and S priority modes, depending on the image style I want to create, and how these settings can allow me to get some really cool shots with just my kit lens. I also understand how the P mode is different from Auto, and how exposure compensation is a really simple way to adjust my image brightness, allowing my camera to choose aperture and shutter speed for me. I can’t wait to dive into Part 2 by JP to learn even more basic principals of light and camera settings. I love his teaching style and feel confident with the tools and ideas I took away from this class. I now have a basic idea of what I am doing, instead of looking at my camera feeling overwhelmed and confused, and I know his concepts will continue to resonate as I move forward with my photography journey. I highly recommend this class for other true beginners!
