What to expect
What To Expect: My goal with every guest (experienced or not) is to give them the tools needed to understand the camera. I have a procedure for taking photos. We do the first step and then practice it, by actually taking pictures, then move on to the next step. By the end of the first day you will be shooting in manual mode and understand why and how to adjust the photo to make it look the way you want. Every guest will feel comfortable, no matter their previous level of experience with the camera.
