Hi i am a new member i just recently got the canon rebel t3i and i am just starting out. Right now i only have the original lense it came with. I am trying to learn manual mode. Do you have any recommendations or pointers as to which classes i should do. I would like to do pictures of people and like weddings and family photos.
Hi Tiffohobo, welcome to our platform. You need to go through this course in it’s entirety first: https://visualeducation.com/section/introduction-to-photography/ then following that you should move on to the other classes in the ‘Photography Essentials’ section and then on to https://visualeducation.com/section/the-naked-camera/ let us know if you have any questions as we are here to help.
FYI: In addition to TPI, there’s an app I often use called ‘PhotoPills’. This does what TPI does as well as let you plan for night shots – including a virtual reality view on your phone that would how you precisely where say, the moon or sun will be in the sky at a certain date in the future -either hours, days, or months ahead. Also has nice reminders etc for blue/golden hours and integrates with my mac calendar for planning shoots.
Maybe some members would find it of benefit. Especially valuable for astrophotography as it will show via VR where constellations such as the milky way will be on given hours/dates.
Hope this is of use.

Hi Graham, yes Tom Oldham put me on to that App I’ve got it now too.
