'These courses are among the best values in Simpliv' - Don'I guarantee that you will go over this course again and again as you progress and each time you do you'll get more and more out of it. Thank you Bernie.' - Stephen'This is a fantastic course filled with so much useful information. I am a big fan of Bernie's and he sure came through with this course. You won't be disappointed.' - DianeToday's DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren't they?The great thing is... they have an enormous number of features and settingsThe 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!)Here are just some of the topics covered in this course, new ones will be added over the next few months:-Basic settings:-Learn about the Exposure Triangle
Understand the difference between exposure modes, Aperture / Shutter Speed priority etc..
Learn when and how to use Exposure Compensation
Tips for getting tack sharp images of stationary subjects
Learn about White Balance and how to get better coloursMore advanced settings:-

Introduction 1 lecture 04:01 Introduction to the course Introduction 1 lecture 04:01 Introduction to the course Introduction to the course Introduction to the course Introduction to the course Introduction to the course Basic Settings 5 lectures 30:47 Exposure fundamentals, the 'Exposure Triangle' Get out of the Auto mode and learn about exposure using the so-called Exposure Triangle The Exposure Triangle explains how the individual aspects of exposure, i.e aperture, shutter speed and ISO, affect the final exposure and look of the photo.It's a useful way of describing the relationship between the three aspects of exposure. Each corner of the triangle represents one of the three variables, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Adjusting just one of these could change the appearance of the photo, or might make the image lighter or darker, depending on the current exposure mode. Lens apertures, learn about one of the most important camera settings The lens aperture controls the amount of light entering through the lens, and also controls the depth of field. It's not really complicated, so don't be put off by the weird numbering and the back to front system! There's no doubt that with a good understanding of apertures you'll see an improvement in your photos. The basics of Shutter Speed What's a shutter and what is 'shutter speed' Very basically, shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. In film photography it was the length of time that the film was exposed to the scene you’re photographing, but similarly in digital photography shutter speed is the length of time that your image sensor ‘sees’ the scene you’re attempting to capture. Bear in mind that it's not usually a good idea to think about exposure and Shutter Speed in isolation from the other two elements of the Exposure Triangle (aperture and ISO). As you change shutter speed the camera will (in any of the auto modes) automatically change one or both of the other elements to compensate for it. The ISO setting, what is it and just what is if for? The ISO setting is very important, especially if you want take photos indoors, or if the light is failing outside, and that's because the higher ISO values on your camera will allow you to take photos in much lower light.This video explains what it is, why you need to understand it, and how to change the ISO settings on your camera. Using Exposure Compensation to brighten or darken your subject. Ever had your photos come out too light or too dark? If so, congratulations, you've just fooled your camera's metering system!!Too much brightness in a scene can cause and image to be too dark. Weird eh? You'd think it would be the other way around!This lecture shows the problem in more detail and describes how the simple exposure compensation setting can be used to brighten or darken your pictures.
