Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
an in-Depth guide to the Canon 7D.
Yes, it's 2024 and this camera is an oldie but a goodie - I still have it along with my 5D mk IV - and I still come back to this class from time to time - So if you have purchased a 7D and are unsure of it - This is your class
Tons of great information to operate the Canon 7D, without reading the manual.
A lot of great information! Would highly recommend.
The tuition was extremely informative. Having not being able to use my EOS 7D because of illness the training taught me how to use the camera again. Many thanks, David Norman e:david@dn-cc.com T: +44 1637 839863
Yes but as always i jump in with both feet. silly me and got the wrong class for my camera i have a D7 but i have a D7 mark 2 what can i say i hope we can work something out ? but every John Class is so good well thought out easy to follow and great information would recommend Johns classes to any one that is in to understanding the tec side of a tool witch is their camera
Clear, logical, and engaging. A very approachable and pragmatic way of getting someone familiarised with their camera.
John's course on the Canon 7D was outstanding in several respects. He covers the camera in a very thorough manner using the most impressive slideshow I've ever seen...both visually and informative. Highly recommend this course whether you have the first 7D or the 7D Mark II.
I have had my 7D for a few years, and the amount of information I learned from this class amazes me. I had muddled through getting most of the things done, but most of it the "hard" way. John's class makes it simple to understand, and very useful.
John Greengo's description of each button and menu function is concise. I sit with my camera in hand and setup my camera as he explains the pros and cons. A great introduction to a new camera.
Even though I am an experienced Canon user, John Greengo is excellent with covering tons of important information. For the experienced user, it's a good reminder of all you need to know. For the Novice this will get you up and running many times faster than on your own.
Use Johns classes whenever I upgrade equipment.
A must watch for those who are new to the Canon 7D. This course will walk you through all you need from the instruction manual, with some nice photo examples and deeper explanations of how things work. John Greengo is also a wonderful instructor and easy to listen to. Can't recommend this course enough!
the best and clearest instruction on any camera system I have watched. A must for the 7D owner
I have the 7d for a year now and still learned new and very useful things. I love John Greengo. His classes are always relaxed and with a lot of details. Thank you Creative Live and thank you John Greengo!
Very useful. Picked up some good tips even though I've had my 7D for around 12months. I feel a lot more confident in using the camera and love the back button focusing set up for when I'm composing images using a tripod. Love John Greengo's relaxed, unassuming style and his openness in sharing his knowledge and experience. GT New Zealand
as always, truly and awesome class. John Greengo is a walking camera manual.
Really enjoyed the class. The instructor is enjoyable and informative. Learned a lot about all the many buttons and settings in the menu that I never fully understood. Thanks!
Such a great class. Was able to get immediately started in composing great photos after watching this entire series on the weekend. Thank you so so much!!
Great workshop! Just purchased the 7d. Happy to not have to read through the whole manual. Now my camera is customized ! Thanks!!
I have had my 7D for a year and I have customised my Camera learnt the Instructions etc, but this class has humbled me and I relearned my basics and learned some things I didnt know about my camera. John Greengo, you are a legend. Excellent teacher and excellent class. Recommended for beginners and Intermediates - Pros can still learn someting too. Leo
If you already shoot with a Canon that is not a 7D, a lot of it you may already know, but it will help you get to know your way around the 7D's features, such as its autofocus system which, with exception of the more recent 1D MK4/X and 5D MK3, is one of the most advanced in the Canon DSLR range - this means it can take a little while and practice to get used to. The course is probably best suited towards the beginner and possibly intermediate users - and maybe someone coming from another camera brand such as Nikon and Pentax, etc. More advanced users will find it basic, although there is some good information on how to set the camera up, and setting the more advanced custom functions. Conversely, this is not a workshop on basic photography, so a little basic photographic knowledge will help you understand the topics being discussed (but that's not to say that a beginner won't get anything out of it). At the time of writing this review, cL have bundled this course with another of John's courses, "Fundamentals of Digital Photography". So I would recommend you take advantage of this special price if you are starting out.
Excellent class. Lots of great info demonstrated in a very easy to follow presentation. John is superb at slides, and little details. Thanks for a great day of learning. I love my 7D even more :)
