It’s Time To Go Beyond Manual Mode

I hear from so many frustrated photographers who struggle to create the images they envision
As a photographer, you can take photos, or you can create images, and there is a distinct difference between the two.
Taking pictures is grabbing the camera, pointing it at whatever, and taking a photo.
Maybe you’re in auto and you’re literally just pointing the camera and pushing the button.
Maybe you’re in manual mode and you’ve taken the time to get an exposure value of 0, and maybe you’ve thrown a bit of shallow depth of field in there, but by and large, taking pictures is just snapping away without much thought or intention.
Now, I want to be clear, this is not meant to criticize anyone that enjoys photography like this.
Everyone has the right to enjoy photography how they choose, and nobody should ever be criticized for that, but you’re here, which means you want more, and that means you need to embrace the idea of putting more intent into your work.
That’s why I created the –
Beyond Manual Mode Video Course

Here’s what Beyond Manual Mode is all about.
Beyond Manual Mode is all about building on the fundamentals to help you do two things.
1. To learn more about the camera and how it works so that you can use your camera to its maximum potential.
2. To embrace and extend your creativity so that you make images instead of just taking photos.
This course weaves together the technical and the creative to give you the tools to start exploring your photography more intently and more creatively.

Understand Your Camera Better
Though ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed are the most important functions to understand, there is much more to your camera than just those settings. Beyond Manual Mode will help you understand those settings and how you can use them to your advantage.

Harness The True Potential Of Your Photos
One thing that sets photographers who create images apart from those who take photos is understanding the potential your RAW files hold. Beyond Manual Mode helps you understand your RAW files better, and shows you how to harness that power in your image making.

Embrace and Unleash Your Creativity
Having a solid technical foundation allows you to explore and express your creativity by giving you the tools to realize your vision, but it’s more than that. You also have to realize and embrace your creativity, which means thinking differently about yourself and your photography.

17 Fun, Easy To Understand, And To The Point Video Lessons That Take You Beyond Manaul Mode To Unleash Your Creativity As A Photographer
Lesson One
RAW vs JPEG
RAW vs JPEG is the great debate in photography, but this isn’t about declaring one a winner. This is about understanding the options you have for capturing your photos, and how those options limit or expand your possibilities.
Lesson Two
How To Capture In RAW and/or JPEG
Knowing the difference between RAW and JPEG is one thing, but it’s no good if you don’t know how to set your camera up to capture in RAW or JPEG. This lesson goes over exactly how to do that, what options to consider, and which options you should definitely not use.
Lesson Three
Basic RAW Processing
One of the biggest barriers to harnessing the power of RAW files is processing those files after you’ve captured them. This lesson takes you throught the entire RAW processing workflow from import to final image so you can start working with your RAW files right away.
Lesson Four
Exposure
Exposure is more than just your ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed settings. This lesson explains how to quantify your exposure to help you talk about, and more importantly, think more critically about your exposure.
Lesson Five
How The Camera Meter Works
The camera meter dictates how the camera thinks about exposure. It is effectively the camera’s brain. Understanding how your camera thinks allows you to prevent mistakes and capture the results you want in less time with less frustration by outhinking the camera.
Lesson Six
The Act of Exposure Compensation
It’s time to accept and unleash your creativity. It’s a simple, but powerful act. Exposure Compensation. It sounds simple, but this lesson builds on everything you’ve been learning up until this point.
Lesson Seven
Dynamic Range
Understanding Dynamic Range and how to use it is where we really unlock the potential of your photos. This lesson explains what Dynamic Range is and how you can use this to more critically evaluate your exposure.
Lesson Eight
Practical Dynamic Range
This lesson shows you step by step, exactly how to implement what you learn about dynamic range in your photography, so you can use this in the field when taking your own photos.
Lesson Nine
What Do The Metering Modes Actually Do
The camera meter is the camera’s brain, but the metering mode tells that brain how to think. This lesson explains how each of the metering modes work and how you can use them to capture the exact exposure you want.
Lesson Ten
Does The Metering Mode Really Matter
This lesson answers the age old question, does the metering mode really matter? The bottom line is that it does, and it doesn’t.
Lesson Eleven
Using Your Priority Modes
Understanding how your camera works and being able to control it is necessary. What’s even better is understanding how you can give some control back to the camera. This lesson shows you how you can let the camera do some of the work for you, while keeping the control you need to create the images you want.
Lesson Twelve
Auto ISO
Auto ISO is another way to let the camera do some of the work for you, but it’s also a little confusing to set up and use. This lesson explains how Auto ISO works, how to set it up so that it works the way you want while still giving you the control you need over your images.
Lesson Thirteen
Color Theory
Color is incredibly important to your photos. In this lesson you’ll learn about color theory and how you can deliberately use color in your images to create more powerful images.
Lesson Fourteen
Getting Perfect Colors In Your Photos
Color is no good if it’s not represented in your images the way you want it to be. This lesson shows you how to get the colors in your photos looking exactly the way you want, no matter the lighting conditions you are shooting in.
Lesson Fifteen
Color Grading Your Images
Color isn’t just applied when you capture the image, you can also manipulate and apply color in the edit as well! This lesson shows you how to use the tools in your RAW editor to deliberately add color to your images to create mood and depth.
Lesson Sixteen
Learning About Light
Many photographers shoot without really thinking about the lighting they are working in. If you understand light and it’s qualities, it will make you a better photographer. This lesson explains and demonstrates the different qualities of light, and how those qualities of light affect your photos. With this you’ll be able to more critically evaluate the lighting you are working with and use it to your advantage.
Lesson Seventeen
Thinking About Your Work
This lesson ties it all together and gives you a path forward to implement and use what you’ve learned throughout the course.
