Today's DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren't they?Â
The great thing is... they have an enormous number of features and settings
The 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!!)Â
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.

The explanations were very clear and the examples well chosen and explain. I enjoyed the course and I found it extremely interesting and engaging.
Time well spent. Excellent content and brilliant explanations
Hey Bernie. First of All, i have enjoyed this and the other 2 courses of yours that i have taken. You explain everything clearly yet simple. Thanks. One comment, You could have made a short table of content, witch should help us take a shortcut to certain items, if we want to look up something. But i hope to see more of these courses.
I was glad to see a course more focused on how to use the camera than on taking the picture. I feel like if I have confidence in using the camera, the picture will follow.
Some redundancy as first course, but look forward to useful shooting information, guides, tips and secrets. Valuable information and techniques to try with full descriptions.
Probably the best course I have come across so far. Slightly outdated in terms of camera and software versions but the concepts are timeless.
All concepts are explained very clearly and concisely.
It confirms to be one of the best teacher of the courses I ve been attending. He his so clear, and prepared. He has also a good English humor.
Absolutely love this course. Although I've been using a DSLR for years, and I am pretty good at using manual and aperture priority, this has really been helpful. I've learned more about using light correctly, and seeing the different ways I could compose a scene. I love that the instructor isn't always 100% happy with his own results, and then explains why and how he could have improved a shot. This is someone who understands photography, and how to teach it in a way that's relatable and easy to follow no matter what your skill level is. I've already purchased Mr. Raffe's course on using an off-camera flash, and I see a couple of more that are on my wishlist.
Great course and the best teacher. Thank you again, Bernie!
