Canon 6D - DSLR Fast Start with John Greengo

John is what I consider "the perfect instructor"! His clear, concise speaking demeanor simplifies very complicated subject matter. I learned dozens of new or previously uncertain tricks and tips...unbelievable! I am so impressed with this class, that I now intend to purchase his class for the Canon 5D Mark iV. Thank you Creative Live and John Greengo!

Was familiar with most of what he was teaching, however I did learn some very valuable info in this class and I am glad I purchased it.

John Greengo is an excellent instructor! He has a way of making the toughest things simple! This is a great course!

There’s a saying in golf that it’s the swing, not the club, that counts. I’ve found that true in photography, where the most artistic photographer I know uses a Canon Rebel and an old film camera. His stuff wins awards and gets chosen for big exhibits. As recently as this past summer (2017) he told me he MIGHT upgrade to the camera this course covers, the 6D. Not the newer 6D Mark II — this one. If he gets it, I hope he takes this course. Is this course relevant in 2018, six years after the camera came out? To me, it is. I’ve read the hype about newer cameras — and they sound great — but I like the idea of seeing if I can do more with the 6D in my bag. And this course has already helped with that, really explaining the options and techniques for focusing, techniques I’ve started using and that have impacted how I composed some shots. The teacher, John Greengo, is the guy I’d want to meet behind the counter at a camera store. He knows the camera inside-out and upside-down. In this five-hour class, he takes you through every button, dial, and menu option — judiciously skimming past things less likely to be useful and focusing time on the key stuff. He’s a smart teacher and this is a smart class. Other examples of things he spent time on that caught my attention: How to adjust this camera and shoot remotely with an iPhone. How to use "mirror lockup" to keep the camera still at slow shutter speeds. How to update firmware. If you another camera and John Greengo offers a Fast Start course for it, my guess is you’ll find it worth your time.

Very good teacher, easy to understand ~ Loved the class, learned so much!

easy n practice

This was super helpful. I have using this camera now for 2 months. The manual was just too long to read and I learned quite a bit.

John Greengo is an excellent instructor. The graphics and slides he uses make things so much clearer. Thank you. Highly recommended.

This class is great. I have yet to put more time with this camera, John Greengo is a great teacher. I love the graphics, examples he uses. I recommended it 100%. Thank you John.

John Greengo is by far my favorite instructor! He explains things very clearly and his use of visuals greatly increases my understanding of the concepts taught. He is succinct in his instruction without being boring. I own 2 of his classes and am about to purchase a 3rd. A+!!!

Learn quite a few things I did not know about my camera and I read the manual. Would definatly recomend if you have this camera.

This course was very beneficial to me in better understanding the 6D settings. I struggled with remembering how to accomplish what I knew was available. John was clear and direct in his explanations of each setting. I appreciate suggestions for settings and the why. I will definitely try other courses.

John is my favorite. Since I'm a beginner ill have to watch this more than once.

Easy to understand. Interesting and informative.

I purchased this class when I bought my 6D. It was very helpful in getting used to the settings and abilities that were different from my 7D. Good class.

Wish I still lived in Seattle. I'd be at a lot of his workshops! He makes so much sense to me, a visual learner.

John Greengo is incredible in what ever he is doing. The classes are like movie which you dont whant to miss a second. Thank you. Regards from Iceland Edvald Geirsson

I could not imagine a better class for learning how to use my 6D. Well worth the money. John Greengo explains the camera functions in a very concise and understandable manner. The slides make it so much easier to fully learn what he is teaching. I love all of his classes, and I hope he will have one for the next camera I buy!

This was an awesome class. This helped me so much in learning my camera better. I am so impressed with all of John Greengo's classes. His level of detail in going over the functions of equipment and cameras is so awesome.... he always gives the best UNBIASED information.

Great course John has an engaging style, I learnt a lot.

Today I purchased your program on EOS 6D, your deliberation and graphics are amazing. You make hard thing very simple. Easy to understand, simplified the functions and made it easy to remember as well. Thanks a lot, will by many more. Regards, Mohammad Seraj Islam

I really like the courses by John, very clear and simple to follow. Great job!

First time I buy a course from John Greengo, but I have watched some in the past and he can be so specific and clear like no one else does. Everytime you buy a new camera you should attend one of his classes and you will start 2 steps ahead: bottom line it's really worth the money! Thank you Mr. Greengo and Creativelive!

John's style is fun, personable and professional. While I've used the 6D for a short while, it was comforting to learn a few tricks and short cuts. Also the preferred settings information was useful. Feel more confident that I will get better shots and be able to make adjustments more quickly. Don't expect any tips on situational shooting; lighting, composition etc. This is an in depth look at the 6D options, set-up, preferences and nice explanations for the choices. John's presentation was easy to understand, well paced and arranged with excellent graphics. One thing that may have been missing... the C1, C2, C3 set-up. This is a little different than the 7D. Recommended.

I don't have 6D, but I love to learn from John Greengo's course. I learned a lot from this course. John Greengo is the best guru for photography!
