What’s in it for me?

Isn’t that what we all want to know before we make a purchase or embark on a new adventure?

And we talk a lot about what our classes can do for you. Of course, we think we do a great job. But why should you believe us? If you’re a skeptical shopper – good for you. It’s wise to question the value of what you’re getting, especially when you’re committing a substantial amount of money and a piece of your precious time to it.

So, we thought today it would be wise to say nothing. We’ll let our students speak for us, instead.

First of all I want to say it was a great first night! You were very helpful in “connecting a few dots” for me in the first night; I tried them and they worked! I love those A-HA moments!  – Al, Northfield, NH

I feel that your basic photography class is priceless.  I liked the way you outlined your photography book, as well as working with the students individually. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in photography.  – Cathy, New Ipswich, NH

Amazing must-take class for those stuck in auto-mode!  Walter helps demystify the digital camera with easy to follow reading materials, hands-on in-class examples, and homework assignments.  I now have the confidence to stop shooting in dummy-mode.  – Michelle, Brookline, NH

I just finished Walter’s basic photography course. The setting is great and, as someone else mentioned, very laid back. I learned a great deal and cannot wait to start his intermediate class. Walter has a very nice teaching style and a lot of good humor to go with it!  – Cresca, Hancock, NH

I used to use “auto” mode all the time, but after the Basic Class I only shoot in “manual” mode. This has opened a whole new world and I now feel like I am getting my money’s worth from my digital SLR. I read books on photography, but they never conveyed the information I needed to get out of “auto” mode and use “Manual” mode. The Basic Class is a great investment for anyone who wants to take better photographs but is trapped in “Auto” mode.  – Glenn, Milford, NH

Photography can seem complicated. You need to understand how your camera works, what the numbers on the lens mean, what is the difference between aperture and shutter mode, how to compose a shot. If you’re looking for answers than check out C1M’s courses. Walter takes you through it all, plus more. I highly recommend his courses. He takes away that overwhelmed feeling you can get when trying to learn photography on your own.  – Jean, Strafford, NH

If you’re stuck in auto mode and feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by your camera, we can help. We make it relaxed and fun. We have a Photography the Basics course beginning on January 22nd, 2015, and we’d love to see you there. Learn more and register on our website.
