Digital Photography Made Easy

Mastering your camera can be a long hard slog or it can be a fun and in many cases a profitable stroll. Everything relies on how you figure out how to do the shot. Digital photography classes provide the answer that most of us are searching for.

Here's the situation…

The majority of us buy a new camera - we open the box - read only enough of the manual to learn how to turn it on and then we start shooting away!

The problem being, that with no formalized, systematic learning, we generally wind up just placing the camera on its automatic settings and figuring that's "adequate!"

It is not good enough!

True the camera on its plain programmed settings can do a plausible job in straightforward, basic conditions, but there is a whole new, creative world out there that we are missing!

To maneuver past the snapshot phase - where we check out our snapshot one time and "file it away" never to get seen again - to getting photos that get others to exclaim "WOW"… We unquestionably have to take the camera off autopilot and begin controlling the blasted thing.

That's when we start our trial and error, random strategy of attempting to figure out all the assorted knobs, dials and buttons. Some we are going to learn to understand, some we'll get a totally WRONG comprehension of, and other options we won't ever even know exist.

The dreadful news is…

Using this trial and error line of attack, we end up with huge holes in our photography instruction. It isn't that we aren't wise enough to understand, it's that we just do not know enough of what creative methods are achievable to ask the proper questions.

There IS an easy solution…

Take a formal course. In this way, the lessons are laid out in a systematic coherent manner that should plug all the holes in out an unplanned education. It's surprisingly effortless and quick!

We do not have to register in a degree program, there are tons of low priced web based courses where we can get the required information on our own schedules and at our own pace.

When seeking a web based course, don't shy from a course that starts at the very basic beginnings. It's amazing how few people truly comprehend the basics.

Two areas to stay away from initially…

Don't bother with the free "101 tips" style information. That tends to be just more of the an unplanned training we try to avoid. AFTER you finish your systematic digital photography classes, THEN is the best time for 101 tips type of thing.

Avoid courses that cost many hundreds dollars…

There's a lot of - excellent - courses that cost hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars. For the most part, they are going to be far too involved for what most of us need. You can get into one of those in case you later decide you wish to turn pro or really get into advanced techniques.

Like Goldilocks, you too can find online digital photography classes that are "perfect for you!"
