Photography Basics: Cameras, Technique, and Composition with John Greengo

Jan/2025 Great short class with condensed relevant content regarding the basics of photography. Amazing teacher - clear speech, straight to the point, and with a nice jokes and funny demos.

John has a helpful way to demonstrate how to learn and understand some of the terminology of using a camera. This class breaks down a LOT of the complicated areas into simple language and with examples that can be understood to someone that is starting out in photography. John has a friendly approach with a clear voice for teaching a beginner. Learning is also about doing, making mistakes, understand what I need to apply to get the shot right. I have some homework to do to do. Shoot in raw, composition, direction of light angles. I would certainly RECOMMEND this course. Excellent explanation on learning. Helen😊 ( Australia)

Great teaching from an excellent teacher! Even after shooting for a few years now, I still learned something from this class. Short and compact!

Good job

Excellent class! I have been taking photos for a few years and I'm happy I actually have a clear understanding of what I am doing!

Would be great for an updated 2019 list of cameras and more discussion on ISO, but otherwise great!

Although I am a more advanced user I enjoyed watching these videos. I would have focused more on the "compositions" aspects of it, 5 minutes out of circa 100 is really a small amount of time to be mentioned in the title of the course!

I enjoyed this quick and concise overview as a refresher. I love John's teaching style and will be looking for more of his classes Thanks!

I have been working in photography a long time (since elementary school) but have a difficult time with changing settings with carpal tunnel. This helped tremendously and will implement as I go. And I am visual and all the visual displays were a tremendous help!!

This was a short course but don't let that fool you. I learned so much in just the short period with this course. John is an excellent instructor and really breaks things down to help you understand the basics.

John Greengo is an excellent instructor and I always get useful information from his classes. This one serves as a great reminder to the proven techniques and best practices. The information is delivered in a meaningful and easy way of learning.

Awesome class! It provides a great review of the basics.

It is great class and I do recommended to any body who is new to photografy

Great video of the basics explained expertly by John. Why doesn't the 3rd video play?

I think this is very informative and gives a great view into your camera and how to take photos. It has allowed me

This course is perfect for those who are just starting out. As a semi-newbie with a Nikon D3300, I find that it unfortunately doesn't go into as much detail as I'd like. But seeing as I got the class for free and John did acknowledge it was a bit of a crash course. One great thing was about composition. I hadn't done any research on it and appreciated the little bit he said on it. So I will be taking this course as a springboard! Thanks!

If you are new to photography or need a refresher on the basics.. Take this class! I learned more basics in this 90 class then I did taking 3 classes here locally. The info is simple and easy to follow. The pictures and graphs make it easy to follow along. Great job. This is class 1 of my series to launch my career. Thank you John for sharing.
