A Year With My Camera is unlike any other photography course.
1. It's for complete beginners.
2. It takes a whole year - you can't learn photography in a weekend.
3. It's entirely step by step. You learn one thing, then you move on. You can relax and stop worrying about whether you are covering everything in the right order. I take care of that for you.
4. The email version is free (join below). It is also available in workbook, app and video formats (all details below).
5. I really care whether you make progress.
6. I have a masters degree in education, as well as being a professional photographer. There are many people out there who claim to be able to teach photography, just because they can use a camera. If you've met a teacher who made you feel bad about yourself because you don't understand something, you'll know that's not true. This course took me a year of research, feedback, and editing until it was ready to launch. Try it and see why it's different.
7. Everyone is welcome, but I wrote it for people who have maybe already had a career (or two), have maybe spent the last 10 years (or more) looking after their family, and who have maybe recently managed to carve out some time for themselves to finally understand their camera and be able to take photos they are proud of.

To lead a tranquil life, mind your own business and work with your hands.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Lao Tzu
1. You'll need a DSLR, mirrorless or bridge camera. One where you can change the exposure settings (aperture and shutter speed) but not necessarily change the lenses.
The aperture stop of a photographic lens can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or image sensor. In combination with variation of shutter speed, the aperture size will regulate the film's or image sensor's degree of exposure to light. Typically, a fast shutter will require a larger aperture to ensure sufficient light exposure, and a slow shutter will require a smaller aperture to avoid excessive exposure.
If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am only for myself, what am I?
If not now, when?

This is the crochet bedspread I rescued while clearing out the new house.
My DSLR seems to be in hiding somewhere, so I'll be using the phone camera until I've found where it's hiding.

I'll keep this in mind for next September - that is if they do it annually!

They do it monthly which makes me very happy. No long waits.
Some options I looked at when deciding on my new camera...
But I think it's better not to go into debt over a camera...

I struggled with this one - it's harder than it looks to get a photo that is enhanced by the lack of colour. I'm not sure if I actually managed it, but I'm going to post it anyway so I can move on to the next one. My usual trick is to overthink things and go for perfection, and I need to learn that getting something done is better than failing to get anything done.

I love this! So comfy! It's like the black and white photo put some sort of spell on that cloth! In a good way.

Sun high in the bright blue sky, harsh light, mostly from above. Harsh, prickly plants thriving in the heat, and producing prickly pears prolifically.
I took this closer to 1pm than 12 noon, to allow for summer-time's extra hour and get the sun as high in the sky as I could, as I suspect the choice of subject might be a sneaky way to get us to start thinking more about the effects of directional light.
