I love photography and I’ve always wanted to learn how to use all the fancy buttons and dials on my camera. My “big” camera (a Canon T1i) takes great photos but I knew it could do so much more if I only knew what all those settings meant. Well, today I finally took a class. Yeah! It was an hour of buttons and dials followed by a field trip around the neighborhood looking for interesting subjects.
