About this group course

Digital photography has exploded over the last 20 years or so. The main reason for this is that the manufactuers learned how to save us from ourselves; using electronic trickery to take the heaving lifting out of making good images.

But because so many people do not come from a photography background, they may not be aware of some of the available technical choices, which help make a photograph much better. In this Quickstart Course, I bring participants through the key features of all digital cameras. I also teach essential photo editing techniques that help them make their images pop with the free mini-Photoshop App used in this course.

Images submitted after the first week's instruction receive gentle and supportive critiquing. Critiquing covers composition, processing tips, prompts for what works well, and suggestions for resolving things that do not.

Previous attendees described the difference between the images they took before and after it as "night & day."

This course is ideal for those who want to learn the bare minimum amount of digital photography knowledge in the least amount of time. Learners can use any digital camera for the photography, and any Android, iOS, or Windows camera phone or tablet for the image editing.
