“I have confidence in making pictures and having fun doing it.”
“I am using manual exclusively now because of AYWMC. Thank you for providing this confidence-building course. It is amazing!”
“I got off auto thanks to AYWMC! And although I am still pretty much a beginner, I have started thinking a lot more about what I am doing and feeling more confident.”
“Having so much fun with my camera now instead of being intimidated by it 😊.”
