Red Sky At Night

Does anyone know of an online photography course using the Nikon D850 and being taught with a new utube type daily class? I’ve completed an online class with daily assignments on a new topic each day. It was wonderful going out and shooting every day and sharing photos on each assignment with others taking the course at the same time. It was great and I learned a lot. But the teacher of the course was showing everything with his Canon camera. It was a simple camera using very different options on the camera. I would love to find classes with a Nikon teacher offering daily assignments. Does anyone know of any?

It is unlikely that a photography course is designed around a specific camera. Using any type of camera relies on learning and understanding what how the "machine" contributes to making a photograph. Each manufacturer may use slightly different terms on how light is measured, admitted to, and allowed to affect a sensor or film. Learn the concepts and then apply them to the controls on your specific camera.

There were others that also came up in a Google search of "Nikon D850 classes."

Well if you are willing to put the time in, here's an idea. Go to flickr D850 photos and find some you think are really good that show the lens and settings used. Then try to duplicate that picture. It is not easy, but you will learn a lot on your own doing just that, or trying to do it. That's how great musicians learn their craft, by listening to and copying other great musicians.
I have tried to duplicate the most inspiring pics I have seen on flickr. I could not do it, but in the attempt I improved my own technique and created my own version of their great photos. In the end, once you know the basics of how iso, aperture, and shutter speed work to create the unique image of a photo, all learning has to be self taught. I have spent much time at my desk shooting my office walls, pictures and shelves with different settings to see how various settings in various lighting can produce the best images. Like with music, you need the basic vocabulary, but after that it's up to you to teach yourself.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will look through them and glean what I can. All good suggestions. I guess though what I’m really trying to find is a photography class with assignments and group activities where all of us are working on the same projects at the same time and sharing photos and hints with each other. The one I’ve been working with has been great. I just also thought it might be helpful for me if the instructor was also a Nikon user.

Linda, thanks for the suggestion. I love Steve Perry’s work. On my bucket list is to go to the rain forest with his group one day. But I need to get much faster with my camera before that can happen. As well as continuing to save up the dollars needed. I consider Steve the one to learn from in photography and YOU in post processing.

Thank you Bob.
