We talked about lighting, we talked about social media, there's a lot of stuff in this course and I hope that there were some gems in there for you that you can take and move forward. You know, when I started this course, I said that there's so much information out there, but there's only so much that you really need to know um to become a good photographer. And I think I've done a good job of covering all of those things that you need to know in order to become a good photographer. But now, you know, at this point, the most important thing for you is to go out and shoot, to go out and to create and just be active and just get after it. You know, I've I've kind of said that a few times throughout this course is you gotta be energetic, you gotta want it, you ...
gotta be passionate about it because photography is a craft, it's an art. Um and it's so much fun when you're fully invested in it. You can go on some absolutely incredible adventures when you're chasing These awesome photos or maybe you're just going out with a friend to take some portraits or you're going to a restaurant to shoot some food, whatever that creative process looks like it can be an adventure and that's why photography is so much fun. So now it's time to go out and do that course project. Go out and take 50 different photos of one item, but I honestly want to know what you guys think of the core. So if you could just take a few seconds to um leave a quick review here at the bottom of the course, that would be really awesome. Really helpful for me. I really love hearing from you guys.

Good basics class, however one of the questions in the chapter 3 quiz is incorrect: When shooting in aperture mode, what settings does the camera adjust? Quiz answer (aperture) is incorrect. The photographer selects the aperture, however the camera adjusts the shutter speed (and ISO if in auto) in order to make a proper exposure.

This is an excellent, fast paced review of processes and techniques for someone who is not a raw newbie, but still in the beginner stage. The title is accurate. It covers the essentials, not deeply, but broadly. Being somewhat older I find the fast pace of the narrative a bit too much, but I am a dinosaur
