How to Take Good Pictures – Shoot in Manual!

Chances are, you love taking pictures. There might be a new baby, your family, big milestones… dream vacations! Don’t forget your hobbies, favorite pets and just being artsy. ;) People ask me all the time how to take good pictures. If you have a DSLR or Point & Shoot with manual capability… my answer will always be “learn to shoot in manual!”

Bella Pop’s online class Shooting in Manual (aka Photo 101) is *the* class to get started taking better pictures.  You’ll learn the basics in a fun, easy to understand format and I’ll be there to answer all your questions and give you creative feedback on your shooting practice.  I know it can be really frustrating shooting in manual (trust me, I’ve been there!) but I promise once you learn a few basics you’ll be rocking and rolling in no time.

What’s all the buzz about?  Here’s just a few of the awesome pictures Bella Pop students are taking and what they have to say about the class…
