I would have taken a snapshot, not a photo. This immersive course, which I began in January , has changed the way I view the world around me and prepared me to capture moments and scenes as they unfold. I started the course to become more familiar with my camera's abilities and to learn how to take better photos to submit to the newspaper at which I am an editor.
Now, as my year with AYWMC comes to an end, Emma and her admins have helped be do all that, and they have made me a more confident artist, open to visual opportunities and willing to take creative risks. I bought myself an entry level modest camera to get started with a promise to myself I wouldn't upgrade until I knew what I was doing.
Well I've just treated myself to a shiny new full frame mirror less camera but more importantly thanks to AYWMC I feel confident and actually know how to shoot on all modes with confidence. I'm still learning and had a few bumps along the way but AYWMC has been fantastic, bite size modules that after going back over a few times they really do start to sink in.
AYWMC has not only taught me how to take photos but has more importantly provided me with a new hobby and a passion to get outdoors to explore new places and hopefully capture a few beautiful images along the way. I started this course in July I had a new camera and no clue how to use it. This was taken in October I have so much more to learn but have made so much progress in these few months. Thank you, Emma for sharing your knowledge with us!!
I found the course to be informative, making learning to go full manual fun and exciting, following the beautiful books part 1 and part 2 or the homework emails everything explained making it easy to learn.
I started my course in September I considered myself to be a complete beginner. I was always on auto and had no idea what MASP stood for let alone what the exposure triangle was and how they connect to each other. After a few months I was off auto and using manual all the time.
I find the books were a great resource as I like to refer to them from time to time. I also love the app to communicate with other like-minded souls. I ask a lot of questions which is scary to bare your soul like that, but Emma creates a safe environment for questions and I find the other photographers who are more experienced than me are friendly are keen to offer support.
After all we were all beginners at some stage! I started in July When I got my first camera I was in tears trying to figure it out.
