Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
a guide to getting started.
Stunning nature and landscape photography requires the right gear, techniques and approach. In this class, John Greengo explains the tools and techniques required for succeeding in this inspiring but demanding discipline. You’ll get an introduction to the equipment, exposure, focus, subjects, light, composition and photographic process needed to get your start in nature photography.
John gives a great introduction to landscape photography. It's a basic overview, but even if you've shot landscapes for a years, John's class is succinct and through. If you are a beginner, it's pure gold.
Well presented, with useful diagrams and photographic examples. Concise, friendly and no time-wasting fluff. Easy to watch at 1.5x, if you like things faster.
This was an informative, rapid fire version of John's longer form classes. I picked up several tips even in this abridged format.
Loved it!!! Short, concentrated and nice examples. The perfect class to get you started.
Great class with wonderful examples! I am new to CreativeLive, but am quickly finding this instructor to be the one I look for in the catalog of classes.
A great introduction to travel photography. This course is quite short compared to other courses but Greengo does a great job of covering the basics in enough detail that you feel confident enough to move forward.
This is my 3rd John Greengo class and I'm becoming addicted. Excellent instructor, very knowledgeable, explains things clearly. Some things I was doing instinctively without understanding why but now that I do understand my confidence has grown. Highly recommend this class!
John is an amazing instructor. He is clear, concise, and knowledgeable. He has a great power point lesson plan with lots of diagrams and examples, and stays on topic. This is my second course from John and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Before this course I already shot landscape and nature photos. Taking this course has open my eyes a bit more and I am anxious to apply what I have learned to my photography.
Very good! I have been out taking pictures, more self taught but needed to understand how different lenses work. Very informative - just what I needed!
This is the second course I have taken that John has taught. I like his method of teaching the class. He has a practical approach to the technical side of photography.
John is the best photography instructor I’ve had! Very organized, knowledgeable and experienced. Very articulate and easy to understand. Thank you, John!
Good course. I really wish the camera settings were labeled on all the photos as far as aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
I enjoyed this class. I wish John would have explained the polarizer filter a little bit more. There is a Circular Polarizer, Linear Polarizer, Warm Polarizer, and Low Light Polarizer - yet, he only says that we need a polarizer. Which polarizer needs to be used on the XT2 with a 35mm f2 lens? The Circular, Linear, Warm Low Light? I also wish the different areas of the video were labeled so that we could easily access that area. For example, the hyper focal distance scale is around 42 minutes. This information could easily be listed on the web page.
Perfect class, loved it. Short, concentrated, nice examples, pasionate speaker. Just want to grab my cam and go apply new knowledges.
I got this course for free thru View Bug and John Greengo is an amazing teacher. He explains nature photography with a sense of ease and he really makes you want to get out there and keep trying to get THE photo, that the day you go out there may not be the right day or right time, but to keep trying and you'll get it! He also encourages you to get out there to the same places other great photographers have been and make it your own, to get your own experiences. Yes, I recommend this course and any courses he instructs, I hope to take another one of his courses in the near future!
Great teacher. Loved the class!
John Greengo is just the best teacher one can wish for. This class is packed with Information about the when, how and what to shoot in nature. Thanks a lot to both, CL and John, for giving me so much Inspiration and knowledge. I really appreciate your work!
This is the third class I have purchased.You are very good at explaining! I love the fact that I can go back and re look at them!
Very instructive! And John Greengo is a great teacher. He knows very well how to go deeply without putting you in a difficult situation. I have followed almost all of his courses, and this one is one of the best! Don't hesitate if you are a beginner or even and advanced photographer interested in Nature photography.
