Master shutter speed concepts by exploring the math of fractions through a practical quiz, linking longer exposure to more light and revealing how faster or slower settings change exposure.
The perspective shot controls the relative sizes of two subjects by adjusting distances to the camera, emphasizing the bride and groom in wedding scenes.
Explore how histograms measure pixel brightness, show shade distribution from black to white, help assess exposure, and explain 256 shades in eight-bit JPEG images.
Master true macro photography with a one-to-one magnification. Explore extension tubes, reversal rings, and diopter magnification, plus Canon and Nikon picks.
Learn how the lcd info on the back monitor displays shutter speed, aperture, and iso with orange icons, plus exposure compensation bracket, manual mode, histogram, digital level, and touch shutter.
Master exposure control on Canon R5/R6 by using aperture priority, exposure compensation, and ISO to adjust brightness and maintain optimal shutter speeds.
Shoot wildlife video using solid end filters (6 and a 10 stop), avoid variable filters, and rely on a stable tripod with a fluid head for smooth focus and pans.
Demonstrate film flash fundamentals with on and off-camera strobe techniques, exploring flash exposure compensation, ambient balance, background control, and turning a flash into a soft light using foam core board.
Learn in-camera playback on the Canon R5/R6: protect images, rate them, copy between cards, and use in-camera raw processing, slideshows, and HDMI HDR output.

When Michael started in 2003, before the youtube age, he learned by trial and error. It took him 2 years to fully master his camera. In 2008, after many years of shooting weddings, Michael was convinced he could develop a teaching system to help new students learn their cameras over a weekend. He's been teaching new photographers ever since! Michael's unique approach focuses on simplicity, clarity, and synthesis, which has helped thousands of beginning students learn their cameras in just a few hours.
