Understand depth of field as a wall of focus parallel to the sensor; wider apertures thin it, smaller ones thicken it, and f-stops express the focal length to opening ratio.
Apply the scientific method as a systematic troubleshooting approach for photography, turning blurry images into observations, questions, hypotheses, experiments, and evolving theories.
Learn how the rule of thirds uses a tic tac toe grid to place the subject near power points, improving portrait composition and image quality.
Look for shapes like squares, triangles, holes, diagonals, and the elusive s-curve to strengthen your composition, whether in the subject or background, for stronger images.
Use angle of attack to change how your camera views the subject, not just eye level; shoot from high, sky cam, or ground angles to produce dramatically different results.
Learn how sense of depth arises from the surrounding environment, using leading lines projecting into the background and subtle position changes to create a three-dimensional feel in photography.
Identify textures around you and use repeating patterns as on-location backdrops for portraits. Recognize ground and sky textures, such as carpet, dirt, brick, blinds, or blue sky, to enhance photography.
Use the perspective shot to control the relative sizes of two subjects by adjusting their distances from the camera, emphasizing the bride and groom in wedding imagery.
Master white balance on the Olympus EM1II in this crash course, focusing on achieving accurate color capture.
Increase light with a faster lens (1.4 vs 2.8) for a wider aperture. Use slower shutter speeds with stabilization or a tripod, raise ISO, and add light with sun.
Master the Olympus em1ii deep menu system, including bracketing, picture modes, raw and jpeg formats, custom modes, autofocus options, and comprehensive video settings for precise shooting.
learn how shutter speed relates to frame rate to achieve a film-like look, including rotary 180-degree shutter and examples like 24fps at 1/50, 30fps at 1/60, and 60fps at 1/125.
Master the five steps of video workflow—shoot, transfer, edit, output, and archiving—emphasizing two copies on external drives and editing native files in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Award winning instructor, camera guru & professional wedding photographer Michael Andrew takes us on a step-by-step tour of the Olympus EM1ii in this training tutorial download video. Michael Andrew’s unique approach simplifies digital photography and shows students how to use simple techniques to take amazing photographs. Michael blends technical competence with artistic fundamentals in this truly unique training video.
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.
If you own an Olympus EM1ii and are looking to improve your photographic skills or aren’t exactly sure how everything works….this is the tutorial for you!
