Finally, Understand Your Camera's Controls
-Intuitively- So You Can Shoot What You See

Still confused & fiddling with your camera's dials & settings?

Stuck in [Auto] because you don't exactly know what those other settings do?

Not getting the results you expect to see in your images?

This event will give you tonnes of personal attention and the skills you need to finally control your camera clearly, intuitively & effortlessly in ANY situation, with no technical jargon... and it's actually fun to learn.

Who Is This Workshop For?

This workshop is for any photographer - from complete beginner to long-time shooter - who's frustrated with, or mystified by their DSLR or Compact Camera's capabilities beyond [Auto] or [P] modes.

If you'd like to understand your camera's controls and learn about your camera's full capabilities, this is for you.

If you'd like to make your photos stand out from what you get with point and shoot cameras, this is for you.

If you're intimidated by other photographers who seem to dial up everything in ten seconds flat, this is for you.

If you're just a bit sheepish about having a camera with massive capabilities, but you actually don't know what they are or how to use them, this is for you.

If you'd like to get past the technology so you can shoot with more confidence & creativity, this is for you.

Lastly, if you're thinking of buying a more advanced camera & want to get a solid foundation & understanding of its controls before you invest the money, this is the ideal place to start as well.

It's a highly personalized workshop where I'll teach you a clear, memorable method to control your camera intuitively - even if you don't know what the terms 'ISO', 'Aperture' or 'Shutter Speed' mean, or what those complex dials and menus are for.

Why Learn Your Camera Controls Intuitively?

When you have intuitive control of your camera, you can shift your focus away from fiddling with numbers and dials, and start spending 100% of your time on the one thing that really matters to you - the creative aspect of your photography & capturing the pictures you envision effortlessly & quickly... the reason you bought your camera.

--------------------------------------------

Here's how one member described their frustration:

"My challenge in a nutshell is I have no idea what the boundaries of what combination of ISO, aperture & shutter speed would work under what conditions, and then proceed to change those factors to achieve the right effect. This challenge is so big that it interferes and sometimes overwhelms the non-technical aspects of my photography..."

--------------------------------------------

Here's what another said AFTER learning I.C.E.:

"Al, Thank you so much for a great workshop. I've owned my DSLR for approximately 3 years and have read all of Scott Kelby's books and so I knew the basics quite well, but I could not execute my knowledge with confidence and was often letting the camera do most of the thinking. Your patient hands-on advice led me to have an epiphany after all of these years of how to select the optimal settings. Thanks again."

...and a third:

"Great day of learning! I really get it now....aperture is no longer a mystery of opposites! Thanks!"
