I'm a beginner. Is this for me?
Yes! This course is for beginning shooters who are overwhelmed by the idea of moving from automatic to manual exposure settings on their cameras. Or for shooters who have tried to learn in the past but were not able to remember how to do it.
Is any of the content in this course created by A.I.?
