What you'll learn

  • Learn how to operate your Canon 90D

Course content

4 sections • 75 lectures • 7h 19m total length

  • Introduction3:38

    Kick off the Canon 90D crash course training with fundamentals like shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and composition. Master on-location shooting, landscape and video, while discovering built-in features through actionable lessons.

  • Previsualization1:23

    Previsualization trains you to see the image in your mind before you shoot, choosing the best shot from imagined options and mastering exposure to turn vision into reality.

  • What is Shutter Speed1:49

    Explore how shutter speed controls light exposure, with faster speeds needing more light and shorter fractions, while slower speeds show longer exposures such as 2 seconds or bulb.

  • Shutter Speed Barriers0:56

    Master shutter speed barriers on Canon 90D: use one sixtieth for people, avoid slower speeds to prevent blur without tripod or stabilization, and use one five hundredth for moving athletes.

  • Shutter Speed Quiz3:36

    Master shutter speeds by linking fractions to exposure time, learning how longer and shorter durations affect light, and practicing calculations of faster and slower settings.

  • Aperture0:30

    Explore aperture as the opening that controls how wide the lens opens. Wider openings admit more light, reducing exposure time for a proper exposure.

  • Aperture Sizes1:40

    Explore how aperture controls light and depth of field by watching lens blades close to different openings in aperture priority mode, from wide open to small f-stops.

  • Controlling Depth Of Field3:09

    Adjust aperture size, subject distance, and lens focal length to control depth of field. Consider sensor size and format equivalence to understand how media influence depth of field.

  • Group Photography3:00

    Stop down the aperture to increase depth of field and keep everyone in focus. For groups, focus the front row, then the second row for larger groups, using wider angles.

  • ISO1:49

    Adjust exposure by choosing ISO wisely; lower ISO (400 or less) yields cleaner colors with less noise, while higher ISO boosts sensitivity at the cost of grain and artificial gain.

  • F-Stop Increaments1:07

    Explore how f-stops express light changes through aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, including half-stop and third-stop increments and traditional exposure scales.

  • Composition Lessons0:43

    Master how subjects are seen in the final image through composition, the artistic core of photography. Learn practical tips to consistently improve and understand why shots look great.

  • Rule of Thirds2:07

    Apply the rule of thirds to compose images by placing key subjects near power points, using tic tac toe guides to add variety and improve image quality.

  • Shapdes2:35

    Learn to enhance image composition after the rule of thirds by identifying shapes such as squares, triangles, diagonals, and s-curves, and using subject or background placement to create stronger photos.

  • Diemensions2:26
  • Angle of Attack1:40

    Explore angle of attack by changing the camera's angle instead of shooting from eye level. Move around the subject from high to low to eye level to produce different looks.

  • Sense of Depth1:44
  • Backgrounds1:54

    Scan the background before you shoot to spot distractions, then adjust your position or pose to cover them; keep it in camera, with Photoshop as a last resort.

  • Textures1:18

    Explore textures as repeating patterns that enhance photography and serve as compelling portrait backdrops. Learn to spot ground and sky textures—from carpet and brick to clouds—and use them creatively.

  • Distance1:10

    Control your composition by adjusting distance to make the subject appear larger or smaller, walking closer or using zoom, and practice starting away then stepping closer to fill the frame.

  • Perspective Shot1:41

    Learn the perspective shot in the Canon 90D crash course training to control the relative sizes of subjects by adjusting distances to the camera, emphasizing the bride and groom.

  • Contrast1:43

    Explains how contrast reveals the subject's shape by differences between subject and background, and notes when white on white can vanish and when dark background clarifies the silhouette, for rule-breaking.

  • The Dutch Tilt1:06

    Explore how the Dutch tilt adds a diagonal frame to your shots, offering a simple way to alter the look beyond landscape and portrait orientations for people, landscapes, and products.

  • Combining Compositional Elements0:41

    Increase image impact by adding multiple compositional elements, such as the rule of thirds, shapes, textures, and depth, to create stronger photos for photography contests.

  • JPEG & 8Bit Depth2:20

    Explore how JPEG uses 8-bit depth encoding to represent 256 shades per pixel from black to white, and how RAW files offer higher 14-bit depth for more tonal detail.

  • Digital Greenhouse4:06

    Explore the digital greenhouse analogy to learn how shutter speed, aperture, and sensor interact to measure light, form pixels, and explain overexposure.

  • Lens Perspective8:50

    Learn how focal length shapes lens perspective beyond field of view, with wide lenses shrinking backgrounds and telephotos magnifying foreground, affecting depth and portrait flattering effects.

  • Lens Recommendations3:28

    Prioritize Canon L-series glass with picks like the 24-70mm f/2.8 II and 70-200mm f/2.8 II IS. Explore landscape, macro, telephoto, and portrait options with fast primes and Tamron alternatives.

  • Histogram4:48

    Learn how a histogram measures the distribution of pixel shades from black to white, reveals exposure via camel humps, and explains 8‑bit JPEG 0–255 brightness scales.

  • How A Color Gets Its Color6:19

    Explore how red, green, and blue stencils capture light through a bear filter system, and how the processor merges RGB channel data to produce colors.

  • Got Light?1:22

    Increase aperture within lens limits, slow shutter with stabilization, raise ISO carefully, and use additional light such as sun, external flash, or a diffuser.

  • Lighting Crash Course4:27

    Master lighting by distinguishing hard and soft light, using complete shade and the hand technique to find flattering directions, and applying golden hour or fill light for portraits.

  • Scientific Method3:02

    Apply the scientific method to troubleshoot blurry photos by observing, asking questions, forming hypotheses, and testing with experiments—checking focus mode, shutter speed, and EXIF data.
