Buying your first real camera can feel exciting… and completely overwhelming.⁣
⁣
Mirrorless or DSLR?⁣
Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm?⁣
Kit lens or body only?⁣
Full frame or crop sensor?⁣
And why does every camera seem to have a name made of random letters and numbers?⁣
⁣
I wrote a beginner-friendly guide to help make the process feel a lot less confusing.⁣
⁣
It explains what to look for in your first interchangeable lens camera, what matters more than specs, and why the “best” camera is usually the one that feels comfortable, makes sense to use, and gives you room to grow.⁣

Summer is a great time to get better at photography.

The days are longer, the light is beautiful, and there are more chances to take photos — travel, cottage weekends, family events, walks through the city, gardens, street festivals, and evenings outside.

But if your camera still feels intimidating, it can be frustrating to have all those photo opportunities and not feel confident using it.

That is exactly what Photo 101 is designed to help with.

Photo 101 is a 4-week class, meeting 2½ hours per week, where beginner photographers learn how to understand their camera settings, move beyond fully automatic shooting, and make more intentional creative choices.

Just $239 for the complete 4-week exeperience.

Upcoming Photo 101 start dates at Henry’s Camera,
185 Church Street:

Sunday, May 17 at 1:30 PM
Wednesday, May 20 at 1:30 PM

If you want to enjoy photography more this summer, now is the perfect time to start.
