THE COMPLETE CURRICULUM
Introduction
What makes a photograph great? It all comes down to one thing: the story. Cameras capture images but only you can capture the story. A simple shift in perspective can make all the difference!
Your Camera
There are plenty of cameras to choose from out there, but what are the main differences and which should you invest in? Ryan covers the bases and shares what he looks for in a camera.
Intro To Light
Without light, there is no photography! Learning the characteristics of light is the first step to taking striking photographs.
The Exposure Triangle
Learn the three camera functions that eclipse all others. Once you grasp the exposure triangle, you’ll never use “auto-mode” again!
Aperture
Ryan demystifies one of the most misunderstood, yet crucial functions of your camera. Understanding aperture is the springboard to photographic creativity and making informed lens purchases down the road.
Shutter
Never take a blurry photo again (unless you want to, of course)! Stop the fastest action or use it to show movement. The shutter is an incredibly powerful photographic tool at your disposal.
ISO
After setting the aperture and shutter, this function allows you to dial in the exact exposure you’re looking for. Ryan covers the ‘do’s and don’ts’ of setting the ISO for maximum image quality.
Depth Of Field
Have you ever wondered how pro photographers achieve crisp focus on their subject, while beautifully blurring out the background? Wonder no longer.
Example Situations
It’s time to put what we’ve learned so far to good use with a series of real-world situations. Ryan steps you through his photographic thought process while out in the field.
Lenses and Focal Length
Ryan uses clear photo examples to compare lenses of different focal lengths and demonstrates how a change of lens can change the story in a big way.
Sensor Size
The size of the image sensor changes from camera to camera. Find out what this means for your photography going forward.
White Balance
Choosing the correct white balance results in great skin tones and realistic colors, so getting it right is important!
Essential Focusing Tips
Not being able to achieve sharp focus where you want it can be a frustrating experience. Here, you’ll learn how to accurately lock focus on your subject, whether they’re moving or not.
The Gear
Make educated buying decisions based on the specific needs of your photography. Ryan also shares his top two gear recommendations that are guaranteed to help anyone take their photography to the next level.
Post-Processing Like A Pro
Importing, backing up, editing, brushing in adjustments, cropping, retouching and exporting your photos is all covered here as you sit along side Ryan during this specially filmed screencast. The difference between shooting RAW and JPEG files is also thoroughly covered.
Wrapping up
Ryan wraps up the class with an important reminder and an inspirational thought for continuing on in your photographic journey.
