Course Description

Join us for an exciting photography class designed for digital SLR camera enthusiasts, hobbyists, and aspiring professionals. In this five-hour course, hosted by Mary Buck, the artistic mind behind Lightscapes Photographic Artwork, you will learn how to use the manual controls of your digital SLR camera. The lessons are divided into 14 chapters, each of which focuses on only one topic. Hands-on and step-by-step teaching enhances the learning process so you can fully absorb one concept before moving on to another. The final goal is to teach you how to "previsualize an image" so you can become a more creative and artistic photographer.

I guarantee you will learn how to use your Digital SLR Camera in this four hour course or your money back.

Class was very informative, good hands-on exercises. Deanna

Class is great! Love the practice time after we learned each thing. Great job in keeping is from getting side-tracked. I'd recommend to others! Heather

I learned a lot that I can use as a beginner. Thanks for teaching me so much that I can do and for making it easy. Nicolle

For a true beginner, this class was fabulous! I learned hot to use my new camera! Belinda

This was a great class! I knew the capabilities of my camera far out-weighed my knowledge, but now I feel that I have become more equal to my camera and will be able to use it to a fuller extent. No more "Auto Mode". Sara

I really liked the hands on assignments where we took shots in each setting to compare the difference. Very effective teaching method. Haley

Enjoyed - a great refresher course that covered all the basics and more! William

This class was very insightful. Even as an intermediate photographer, I was able to learn something new in every lesson. Shan

Incredible class. I came in thinking I knew all about my camera. Boy, was I wrong. Worth every penny. Sheryar

Very easy to learn. Good teaching style. Tara

Wonderful and patient instructor. I felt very comfortable revealing what I didn't know. Carolyn

This class helped me understand how to use the controls on my camera and to understand the concepts such as white balance, exposure etc. Definitely got my money's worth. Chandana

I thought Mary's class was worth every single penny. She wrote the book and delivered the course in a way that did not seem overwhelming or intimidating. Unlike the way some digital photography books are written that assume the consumer already has a basic understanding of most photography principles, Mary broke out the content into easy-to-understand sections with hands-on learning after each segment that really gave me a good understanding of different scenarios that would be appropriate to use the different settings on my camera. I went into the class intimidated by f-stops, manual settings and white balance, and I left with a comprehensive understanding of basic photography principles and of how to manipulate the settings on my camera to get the most out of each shot. I highly recommend this class. Amy Moye - Duluth

Thank you so much Mary for all that I learned in the SLR class. I can’t believe I waited so long to take the course! I have been practicing what I learned and am amazed at how much better my photos look when I adjust the camera settings instead of just using “auto” all the time. And believe it or not, I’ve been reading my manual, too! Now that I have a better understanding of all of the camera options, I am not so intimidated by the manual. Thanks so much! Lisa Bell - Cumming
