This was very informative. I did notice when practicing, though, that the high f-stop settings require some camera stabilization, as it seems to create a longer shutter speed to allow more light in.
Just FYI, I am a complete novice so this information was very helpful. I am struggling with getting my depth of field down. I can take several pictures with the same aperture, with very different degrees of blurring or depth of field. I didn’t understand how other factors such as focal length (which I also had to look up to understand), distance from subject and the distance between the subject and background play into depth of field. Once I understood these other factors, then it made so much more sense why my depth of field was so different, even though I was using the same aperture.
This was a lot of good information, however I had to go out to YouTube to find out how to change the aperture setting before I could practice. The book that comes with the camera doesn’t cover anything except for the basics.

I have purchased the course from Groupon with the Redemption Code of GHMMNZTF.
I don’t know or have a way to post the code so I can do the classes online.
Please help me with this.

Hi Marion – I sent you an email – please let me know if that helps!
I heard this term and did not know what it was or that it could be adjusted. Very useful information.
I’m assuming we can always go back and review these courses?
Hi Christina – yes, the courses are yours to keep forever. You can log back in at any time and view them.

So much useful information , loving my camera more and more especially after being able to learn its full potential . I’m using my Canon EOS Rebel T6.

I am a beginner for sure but found this first section so informative. I can’t wait to practice what I learned. Thank you!
