View Class Class 5 Aperture & Depth of Field Aperture is one of the six essential requirements for creating an image — it not only controls how much light your camera is able to record, but also the depth of field. Depth of field (DoF) is an important compositional and creative element in any image so it’s important to understand what it is and how to control it. View Class Class 6 You re ready for Full Manual Mode The best thing about using Manual mode on your camera is that it gives you full creative control. Your camera confidence grows and your creative instinct takes over. View Class Class 7 Camera lenses and focal length When it comes to lenses, there’s no shortage of options but did you know that camera lenses can be equally, if not, more important than your choice of camera. View Class Class 8 The importance of understanding light “Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it...” Knowing, understanding, and paying attention to all types of light is one of the quickest ways to improve your photography. View Class Class 9 Camera ISO megapixels & sensors The number of megapixels your camera has doesn’t make you a better photographer but it’s good to understand all factors that contribute to image quality.
