Today's DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren't they?
The great thing is... they have an enormous number of features and settings
The problem is.........they have an enormous number of features and settings!!
And it is a problem, because although there are some real hidden gems amongst all those features, they can seem confusing or intimidating, and so a lot of photographers simply ignore or shy away from them (you know who you are!!)
This course, aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers, covers DSLR and Mirrorless basic settings, but also explains your camera's more advanced features and settings.

Chock full of valuable tips and insights
This is the second course I've taken from Bernie and they're both excellent for beginners who want to get up and running quickly in photography. It offers an excellent compilation of valuable tips and approaches presented in a straight forward, easy to digest manner, that will allow you to move from snapshots to photographs in the shortest time possible. It is even very good for folks who have been actively engaged in photography for a number of years and want to see how a professional approaches a variety of different situations. I guarantee that you will go over this course again and again as you progress and each time you do you'll get more and more out of it. Thank you Bernie.

Chock full of valuable tips and insights
I have watched both Bernie's courses, and found both of them interesting, informative and even entertaining.
In his funny, quirky way, Bernie explains some of the more complex or sophisticated ways of photo taking, but as usual he is able to do so in a simple way not to confuse the listener.
I have enjoyed this course, but it is geared towards beginners in photography.
