Note: The site has been lying dormant for a while. The website provider has added some great new features. I am discovering some broken links and doing housekeeping - straightening up the clutter and making the site easier to manage. If you have questions about where to find things, or feel something is missing. Please let me know, and I will add it to the to-do list. Please bear with me as I sweep away the cobwebs and straighten up the site.

Artist's Note: I was shooting on the same rooftop as my daughter. While I was over getting 'meh' images. She was capturing the exact images I was looking for.
Module 6
You learned all the basic photography rules. Now, we get to break them. Off to the adventure!
To complete this course, you will need to have access to a DSLR or Mirrorless camera.
A DSLR Camera, or Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera, has more controls than a regular compact or point-and-shoot camera. One of the biggest differences is that with a DSLR is that you can change the lens, which you cannot do with a point-and-shoot.
The DSLR can be confusing to learn, with all its settings. This course is designed to help you learn those and begin your adventure into the DSLR Camera. If you are not sure if your camera is a DSLR or a point-and-shoot, contact me, and I can help you figure it out.
I have also heard DSLR cameras referred to as
A paperweight.
Dust magnet
An unused and mysterious object that sits on the shelf, taking up space,
The newest item up for sale on the marketplace, and where you will sell it for a fraction of what you paid. (Speaking of which, if you are in the area, I have a camera for loan if we do this course face to face - it was a great deal!)
If you are just considering or if your camera fits one of the four descriptions above, let's take the next step! Dust it off, and let's learn your camera together.
Come hang out for a bit!
