Perfect for those 'point and shooters' who want to learn to use their digital camera in a half day workshop.

If you've ever looked at your fancy camera and wondered why your photos don’t look as professional as you’d hoped — even though you’ve invested in the gear — this is the course for you.

Get Off Auto is designed for beginners who want to finally understand how to take control of their camera, ditch the guesswork, and start creating images they’re genuinely proud of.

No jargon. No overwhelming tech speak. Just straightforward, practical advice that helps you get to grips with:

📸 Shutter speed

📸 Aperture

📸 ISO

📸 How these work together to create beautifully exposed, sharp, and creative images

Whether you’re photographing your products, your family, or your dog doing zoomies across the park, this course will help you shoot with confidence, creativity, and purpose.

What you’ll learn: ✅ How to confidently shoot in Manual Mode

✅ How to get sharp, well-exposed photos every time

✅ How to use light to make your images pop

✅ How to create that professional ‘blurry background’ look

✅ How to avoid the common beginner mistakes that leave you frustrated.

Who this course is for: 👉 Small business owners who want better photos for their brand

👉 Parents who want to capture their family beautifully

👉 Pet lovers who want to capture that fast moving fur-baby

👉 Creatives who want to develop a new skill

👉 Anyone tired of letting their expensive camera go to waste
