Right NOW!

Who is this class for?

online photography courses

You are the proud owner of a brand new Digital SLR Camera but are overwhelmed by all those buttons.

You LOVE Photography, but sometimes the camera can actually get in your way of taking a picture.

You’ve played around with some of your camera settings but need a little guidance.

You feel that you are not getting the most out of your camera.

You are frustrated with the settings and end up switching back to the Auto mode.

You don’t have time to participate in an in-person class

Now is the time to Get out of Auto!

This online photography course is specifically designed for anyone with a digital SLR camera who find themselves reverting back to the Auto setting despite knowing their camera can do so much more.

Some Details…

  • This is a 4 week course covering all the basics of using your DSLR out of the Automatic mode
  • When you sign up for the course you will have immediate access to Week 1 of the course
  • You will access the video by logging into a password protected webpage.
  • The password and link for each subsequent week will be emailed to you every 7 days.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Week 1: Meet Your Camera – Finally find out what all those buttons are for, what happens when you press that shutter button and why that photo never comes out the way that you intended.
  • Week 2: Exploring the Creative Zone – Learn how to use your camera’s semi-manual modes and discover when are the right times to use them.
  • Week 3: See the Light – This week you’ll learn how to control the photographer’s raw material – light. We’ll look at flash, metering, white balance and more.
  • Week 4: Introduction to Composition – In your final week we’ll put everything you’ve learned so far together and look at how to compose that perfect shot.
  • The videos are recordings of a live Get out of Auto course held earlier this year.
  • There will be a weekly assignment.
  • I will answer course related questions once every week during my “office hours” so you’ll never be left wondering if you got it right or not.
  • Individual critique and feedback will be given if requested, for an additional fee.

Here’s what some of my past students have to say…

 

I was so fortunate to find Ingrid’s Get Out of Auto course which was brimming with information about the use of DSLR cameras.  The course was taught in such a way that I could easily digest the information and feel confident picking up my camera; but, her course didn’t stop at camera functions, she also teaches vital aspects such as composition and lighting and how it applies to the way I use my camera, thereby unlocking a lot of potential for improving my photography.

I was delighted to find the class atmosphere light and cheerful, contributing to a feeling of chatting with a group of new friends instead of sitting in a class.  Her course is well thought out and organized, which my busy lifestyle appreciated.  I found myself excited to practice each week and found the homework inspiring, growing more and more assured of my camera and its functions.  Upon completion of Ingrid’s course I hold my camera with ease, knowing what each and every button is for and how to use them as well as noting a definite improvement in the photos I capture.  I would recommend her course to anyone who owns a camera but especially those who desire to move out of that ominous Auto Mode and truly dive into the world of photography.”

“Ingrid’s course was exactly what I needed to understand the additional functions available on my new Nikon. After determining my level of knowledge and what I wanted to achieve when taking pictures, Ingrid explained and demonstrated how each function (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, metering) would affect the picture. Her materials and examples are thorough and helpful for follow-up reviewing. Thank you, Ingrid – you’ve made me a smarter photographer !”
Patti, Atlanta
“I had a wonderful time with Ingrid – she was extremely efficient in her instructions, and gauged the topics based on my experience level and the specific things I needed to work on. I learned way more in those 2 hours than I ever imagined and am very enthusiastic about practicing with my new knowledge.”
Meredith, Sandy Springs
“Taking Ingrid’s class helped to improve my photography and confidence behind the lens. Her knowledge of my camera and coverage of information, on it’s features has allowed me to take my skills to the next level.”
Cheri, Atlanta

The cost of this course will be $99 payable at time of registration.

Time to make full use of that camera investment!
