Discovering photograpy

I considered not posting this but, I have a hard time not sharing useful information. For so long I thought I couldn't understand photography so, why try? Occasionally I'd dabble in getting out of auto mode. Then quickly retreat to the safety of the camera's presets. Then I had a very short-lived journey to be a content creator. Through that, I discovered two people.

I highly recommend just going and checking out her youtube channel, but here is just one video that made me more curious about photography. 

Then I followed some links and wound up at this website called skillshare. There I discovered a video of Sean Dalton that actually broke down how a camera works and the basics. He explained photography so well that for the first time I started understanding how the camera works to help you capture images. 

I can't copy the video lesson from skillshare but I HIGHLY recommend checking his videos out. You can find out more about him here https://www.seandalton.co/
