Have you always wanted to learn how to use the awesome DSLR camera that you bought 4 years ago that is still sitting in the box on a shelf? Maybe you already know how to use it in auto mode, but you really want to master using it in manual mode to get the most out of its capabilities? Maybe you already know camera basics, but its been so long that you need a fun afternoon refresher course? Or maybe you just want to hang with me for four hours and practice and play with what you're already a rockstar at? If any of those sounds like you.....lets do this thing!
