Digital Photography for the Beginner is aimed towards people who own a digital camera and want to get something extra from it. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about your camera and how to take the photos that you want and not to leave everything to the camera to make the choices for you! You will learn how to get some great effects from easy-to-learn techniques … and no, you don’t need the latest camera with expensive lenses. This course is recommended for people who are fairly new to Mirrorless and DSLR cameras.
