Ever wonder how the pros get those stunning shots?

DSLR cameras are powerful tools that give you the ability to take stunning photographs that capture all those special things you see and moments you experience - photos that you will cherish for the rest of your life. The key to success is to use the camera correctly and that's what you will learn in this course.
As a beginner, you may feel overwhelmed and intimidated by all the camera's dials, buttons and settings, but that will be a thing of the past once you've completed this course. My goal is to fill you with confidence, not only when it comes to choosing good settings, but also when you compose your images. By the end of this course, you too will take stunning photos with your DSLR camera.
Content and Overview
This course is divided into two broad components: first we cover all the
technical aspects
, like camera equipment and support, as well as the camera's most important settings. After that we look at the
artistic side
of photography, which focuses on light, composition and creativity.
It has been structured in such a way that you won't ever feel overwhelmed by technical jargon, complicated camera functions or obscure principles. The aim is to keep everything as clear and simple as possible, and this was achieved by tackling each important photographic element separately in short and concise lectures that last between 2 and 5 minutes each. The majority of lectures consist of both teacher-style video clips (where I explain a setting, principle or tip) and slides, both of which contain photographic examples and audio (where I interpret each photographic example).
