Photography 201: Introduction to Manual Mode: Move Out of Auto Mode and Into a New World of DSLR Photography

Taught by Elisha Snow

Capture the people you love in the best possible light, as you learn to use your DSLR camera* in full manual mode!

Ever felt a twinge of guilt for owning a fancy camera that you don't know how to use? Here's your chance to step away from auto mode and finally discover what you and your camera are capable of.

In this 6-week guided workshop, professional family photographer Elisha Snow will help you make sense of ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and more. Get ready to see an amazing difference in the quality of your photographs—starting the very first week of class!

Through an inspiring series of videos, handouts, and classroom interaction, Elisha will help you:

  • Take your camera out of auto mode and never go back
  • Learn how ISO, shutter speed, and aperture work together to create a proper exposure
  • Capture great photos in a variety of lighting situations
  • Develop your innate talent as a photographer

An expert at making complicated principles sound simple, Elisha has been teaching online photography classes since 2009. She'll be available throughout class to answer your questions on the class message board and offer feedback on the photos you post to our private classroom gallery.

A whole new world of photography awaits you in Photography 201: Introduction to Manual Mode.

Note: There are no prerequisites to taking Photography 201—anyone with a DSLR is welcome.
