Back again in Las Vegas for a second photography workshop “No more auto mode workshop”. This time we made it without rain, but it started really cold in the morning, making things better with some sunshine after lunch. Again learning how to use different cameras: two Canons, three Nikons, one Panasonic and one Sony made the workshop more interesting for all....

I'm a long time auto focus photo taker. I had no knowledge of any of the functions the camera offered. I now feel pretty confident tt I can play with the lighting to get really pretty pix while hiking. In auto they don't really pop. Thx Hector

This photography class was a fun filled full day outside. You discover so, SO much about your camera!, finding the light and enjoy the excitement of being in an environment that compliments photography. Hector was prepared with props, printed notes to keep, and answers to all our crazy questions! His understanding of all camera brands and types was beyond impressive. Our whole class didn't want the day to end! I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience. Take this class for fun or for career growth, either way, you won’t regret it.

The Get Out of Auto Mode Workshop with Hector is amazing. I went in with no knowledge of how to use my camera. Hector made everyone feel comfortable and gave us a ton of knowledge as well as a full day of hands on learning. I left with more than enough information to practice on using full manual mode. My favorite part of the workshop was Hectors passion for capturing moments in life and his love for sharing what he knows and inspiring others wanting to capture better pictures or become a photographer themselves one day. I immediately got back into my online photography class that wasn’t working out before and it no longer sounds like a foreign language! This was the best step I could have taken into getting comfortable with my camera and giving me the inspiration to push myself further to my photography goals. Would definitely recommend for anyone.

I took this workshop because I wanted to learn how to use my camera better, this workshop was AMAZING, Hector is very passionate about this, you can tell he really wants people to learn, I felt really comfortable in the class, he made it feel so smooth. He was very patient and helpful, I learned so much. I’m no longer using auto mode ever again 🙅🏽‍♀️
Thank you Hector for putting together this workshop i loved it

I never thought I’d be able to get out of auto mode. No wonder some photographs look great and some are just bland . This workshop is great for everyone who loves photography, who are still in auto mode. “Photography makes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” Thank you Hector for imparting and sharing your gift of photography. Much appreciated! At Sunset Park, Las Vegas NV.

I had SO much fun taking the Get Out of Auto workshop with Hector. Went into the class not knowing anything about cameras, it was basically the first time I used the camera I had all day, and left feeling so much more confident with what I was doing. Looking forward to using the information I learned that day, and I think I found myself a new hobby.Also, the homework before the class was intimidating, but just give it a shot, it made the class much more enjoyable. I didn't spend much time on it unfortunately, and I still didn't know what the homework was taking about when I started the class, but I picked it all up after the first hour.

I attended my very first photography class ever in Las Vegas at Sunset Park a couple of weeks ago.I was very nervous for the fact that I had no idea how to even properly use all the buttons of my camera... Hector Gonzales was professional but extremely patient and his class was so inspiring that I can't wait to attend next ones . Now I can practice and enjoy my camera knowing so much more . It was a long day but the time passed by quickly having so much fun with a great group and an excellent teacher . Finally I have the right clues about photography...
Thanks so much Hector for this wonderful experience !

The photo class provided me with valuable insight into how my camera operates, but more importantly on how to use it. My fellow class mates and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Hector and he even took time after the class to answer questions and take additional photos. Hector's passion for photography transcended into his approach on teaching us the ropes. I am really looking forward to his next class and will be the first one in line.

I really recommend Hector,I just took one of his classes and It was amazing, I had a lot of information about my camera, now I feel more confident to used on manual mode, it was super fun to been on this group and share what everyone was learning and share information, every time I have a questions Hector was there to help it doesn't matter if I ask 3 times the same question,he always have the pleasure to answer.
I definitely would like to take a another class with him.
believe me you will enjoy this class,you going to have fun,and you going to learn a lot.

I have been what some may call a semi-professional iPhone photographer for a few years now....which means not much of a photographer at all. lol. I travel a lot and love taking pictures of landscapes during my travels. I have long thought about getting my feet wet in the real world of photography. It was an intimidating thought but I was honestly tired with the limitations of a phone camera, so I finally bit the bullet. A friend of my husband's suggested purchasing a Sony Alpha 6000 as a good "starter" camera, so I did. Only problem was, I had no freaking clue how to use it.

Cue Hector and his class. I did some research and found Hector. I live in Ontario, so I was hoping to attend a class closer to home (he offers classes in Redlands and Temecula) but it was difficult getting the required amount of attendees to commit. I was tired of waiting, so I went to the San Pedro class. From start to finish, Hector was incredibly professional and responsible. His frequent communication will put the most anxious person's mind at ease. I let him know the equipment I was working with and he told me what I would need for the class. He didn't take payment from us until he received confirmation from the minimum amount of students (I believe it's five) - and he confirms and reconfirms just to be sure.

Yes, there's homework. And if you want to get the most out of the class, you will do it and take it seriously. Hector does his best to cover just about everything under the sun regarding your new camera. You will come out learning so much information, and if you haven't done your homework, you may feel a little lost. Plus, you'll hold everybody else back, so don't be that guy. I had a basic knowledge of the things Hector went over because I taught some of it myself by watching youtube videos and practicing. He does provide you with videos to watch on your own prior to to the class. Watch them! They really help you get a better understanding of how to work your camera.

The class itself was jam packed with information. He provided us each with our very own binder with all the information we covered. A great reference tool for later when you find yourself forgetting some things. We did countless exercises and Hector was great at checking in with us to make sure we were getting it all. I really had such a great time learning about my camera and really feel like my understanding of photography has increased a great deal. You certainly get more than your money's worth for this course.

The day is long, so make sure to get some good rest the night before and come prepared. Be ready to have your mind blown with what your camera can do! Hector truly was an awesome teacher, and I couldn't have been happier with this workshop!

If you want to learn how to use your camera properly, do not hesitate to take this class. I tried to learn from just reading the manual and watching online tutorials for two months prior to taking Hector's class. I learned more in the one day workshop than I did on my own. Hector gives you homework to do prior to the class so that you will get familiar with your camera because there are a lot of topics he will cover in the one day. During the class you will get a notebook full of important information that you can refer to later. Hector is very patient, knowledgeable, funny, interesting, and organized. Trust in him and you will enjoy the class while you learn a lot.

Couldn’t be happier with this workshop and highly recommended. I got a mirror-less camera about two months beforehand and had some time to read about Exposure and familiarise myself with the different settings. However, this workshop really took it to the next level in terms of understanding the different modes (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual) and when/how to best use them. Hector is also super fun and patient to explain everything in detail and answer any possible questions. I first thought the workshop was a little long for a beginner class, but honestly, time went by super quickly since it was so much fun to learn and practice the new stuff right away.

I have had my camera for a couple of years with the intention of using it for travel and food photography. I purchased books, viewed online tutorials and even attended another class, they helped somewhat but never held my interest long enough for me to grasp what my camera could really do, instead I felt overwhelmed. I found Hector's class on Facebook and tried to sign up a couple of times but there communications issues with emails etc... I finally was able to sign up for the class on Saturday and I definitely feel more in control of my camera and all that it's capable of. The class was organized and well planned and Hector was patient and methodical, by the end of the class we were all able to confidently manage the settings on our cameras and shoot pictures. I plan on seeking out photography groups to continue to hone my skills and I definitely recommend that anyone looking to conquer their fear of their camera settings sign up for this class. My only caveat is if you don't get a response to your initial inquiry try contacting him through Facebook or another way as I did not even find his emails in my spam, alas it remains a mystery : ) but I am now enjoying my newly honed skills! I look forward to my next vacation to really put them to the test! Thank you Hector!

I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I was blown away by how much I learned in one day! Hector made the class comfortable and fun even with it raining out. We moved at a fast pace but nothing everyone couldn’t keep up with and by the end we were having a great time shooting in Manuel and understanding what we were doing! I highly recommend this workshop whether you want to start a career or hobby in photography.

A very helpful and informative day. Hector was gentle, calm and experienced.
You learn a lot more than just getting off Auto mode. You learn about the camera, equipment and the process the camera uses to create the perfect photo-this is essential to truly understand ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
I started the day with a major headache regarding these three things and left with a pretty good understanding of everything.

Highly recommended for anyone that wants to unleash the power and potential of your DSLR.

I was booked on the Get out of Auto Workshop as a Christmas present and was extremely excited at the prospect of learning more about using my Canon DSLR.

I have used SLR and DSLR cameras for quite a while now, with my first SLR a couple of decades ago (film), and despite years and years of ownership, I was a complete novice. I lived in the Auto mode on my camera, and regardless of how many youtube videos I watched, the concepts never stayed fresh. This class made everything I had read or seen actually make sense.

The course itself provided the right amount of theory mixed in with the right amount of practice to make learning the concepts of properly setting up your exposure. Where I had always struggled before was in how to leverage the aperture, ISO settings, and shutter speed correctly - and all of those concepts were addressed and taught in a way that really made sense to me. I can't wait to apply what I have learned in this class out in the wild on my next photo adventure.

I was so impressed and enjoyed the class so much that I am hoping to attend again with my wife so that she can get comfortable behind the camera. I would happily recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about the proper way to take beautiful photographs, and Hector was a great teacher to learn from.

I have been thinking of getting into photography for years, and finally took the plunge and bought a DSLR camera. I was trying to do reading and research on how to use it, and was getting more and more confused. I wanted a class where I could have the functions clearly explained to me, and Hector delivered! A very informative and interactive class, the perfect mixture of lecture and practice (I say this as a high school teacher). Hector is very knowledgable and helpful, and helps to put the use of the camera in easy to understand lessons.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from the workshop that I attended. I liked that Hector keeps the classes small. It helped me to not get overwhelmed. I feel that with the all the excellent information provided and with more practice I will be taking much better photographs from here on out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I love photography but was not getting the quality pictures I wanted- Hector's workshop worked wonders for me! By the end of the day I was starting to get the kind of photos I wanted to be able to take. You still have to practice and I'm sure I have lots more to learn but this was absolutely the best place to start!

On June 2, 2018, I participated in Hector’s “Get Out of Auto” class. Prior to the class, Hector provides you with some homework. At first (and second) reading, it was very confusing; however, after reading the manual and then the homework again, and practicing what Hector was saying, it began to make sense. That is the key PRACTICE! Before the class – it will make knowing what is going on in the class much easier.
Hector is very organized and prepared. He thought of everything needed for the class – seating chart so those with similar cameras were grouped together, props, benches, canopies to keep everyone out of the sun, water and Gatorade to keep you hydrated and chips to snack on. The directions on where to park and where to find him were spot on (if one bothers to actually read them)
Hector provided everyone with a 3-ring binder with lots of information and covered it all throughout the day. We would go through sections of the binder and then shoot pictures to practice what we had reviewed. Then review another section, then practice. Hector is SO PATIENT!!!!
I agree with another reviewer there is A LOT to be learned/retained in one day and it is a long day – maybe that’s a sign I’m getting older – however, that said, everything covered in the class is included in the notebook so I can refer back to it if needed while I am practicing. As with anything – PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE is the key.
I am looking forward to practicing and using everything Hector taught us on Saturday and hopeful I will get some beautiful pictures when we cruise the Panama Canal this September – and I shoot in MANUAL – no more AUTO!!!!
I will definitely be taking another class with Hector in the future. More than anything, Hector made learning FUN! He’s a GREAT instructor, loves what he does and shares his passion with all.

I took the April 29 workshop in San Diego. Awesome!, I learnt that my camera has many more functions than just shooting in "automatic". Now is to me to review Hector's handhoud and practice, practice and more practice. Thanks. Armando

Hector's all day workshop "NO MORE AUTO MODE WORKSHOP" exceeded my expectations. He covered a wide range of topics including how to hold your camera, selecting the various recording modes, drive modes, white balance, ISO, RAW vs JPG, and much more. He interacted with each of the students, and provided each student the opportunity to take pictures and experiment with different recording modes and drive modes. I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ300 LUMIX camera. Although Hector was not that familiar with my camera, he did some research on it prior to the class. The end result was that I learned more from Hector about how to use my camera to produce quality photos than from simply reading the owners manual. I highly recommend his workshop to the novice (like myself) or to anyone with more experience.

I love photography but I always use the auto mode even thought I have a nice DSLR camera. Reading the manual is overwhelming. It’s been my desire to take a class and I found this class by browsing online. I spoke to Hector on the phone inquiring about the class and I heard his passion in his voice. The class was very informative and I couldn’t have learn it just but reading or watching YouTube videos. He was hands on and guided you along the way. Learning and understanding of all the buttons and functions are very helpful. It was a little intimidating at first but you will get comfortable by the end of the day. Did I become a better photographer after the class? No and Yes. No because I still need to practice on my own and get really comfortable with my camera. Yes because now I understand the purpose of the all the function, buttons and settings on my camera that I know will help me get better photos. Hector is a great teacher. I really enjoyed the class.

Very practical class. Instructor is very knowledgeable and hands on in giving you the instructions to get yourself out of shooting in auto-mode. I'd recommend this class to anyone looking to do more with their camera.

This class is wonderful! Hector puts in a lot of time and energy to make sure all students are prepared for the class. I am a hands on learner and after the class I realized I learned more on that one day with Hector then I did watching 40 hours of video. I researched several beginners programs and I actually flew in from the midwest to attend this workshop. The experience was worth every penny that I paid to get there.

Hector is easy to be around and therefore I wasn't intimidated and felt I could ask questions comfortably. He is very organized and communication pre-class is top-notch. He assigned homework shortly before class to be sure we could at least understand the basics of photography before we arrived. He gave us a binder full of information and always took time for questions during class.

Plz do yourself a favor. If you want to take a workshop that is organized, priced fairly and taught by an instructor that is very passionate about his profession AND wants to see you succeed, SIGN UP. You WILL be a better photographer.

After taking two online classes on photography, I realized I was still clueless on how to operate a camera; I'm more of a hands-on learner. So, I did some research via Yelp and found Hector's Manual Mode class with 5-star reviews. I signed up and was super excited for the workshop.

Upon arrival at Sunset Park, Hector had a location set up with props, seating, water and snacks. He provided us with a binder full of information that was extremely helpful. Hector is so knowledgeable, patient and answers any questions you have. By the end of the day, I was comfortable shooting in manual mode and will never use Auto again!

Cons of the class: For me, personally, this workshop was about 3 hours too long. The first 5-6 hours incorporated a lot of understanding numbers (ISO, shutter speed & aperture), which doesn't come easily for me. My brain was so exhausted from all the info crammed in, that I was shut down when most of the shooting began toward the last couple of hours. In my opinion, this is a two-day class. One day to soak in all the number stuff and then another day to apply that info would have worked better for me.

Also, I felt the student to instructor ratio was too high. Hector said he usually has 8 students, which would have been perfect; I think we had 13 students. Toward the end, we did a lot of portrait shooting of students, which was great. But... it would have been nice to have the instructor look at the photos taken and provide instruction/critiques. I felt like we just kept shooting and shooting with no individual critiques on how to get amazing pics similar to the ones Hector took. I was unsure on what to improve on or do differently, so I stopped shooting. There was just too many students for more specialized attention.

Overall, a great workshop; I learned a ton. You will get so much more out of this 1-day class vs. online classes and vs. college classes. I look forward to taking more of Hector's workshops. He knows his stuff!

I had no knowledge of anything before attending and was a little intimidated but Hector makes you feel welcomed and teaches I a way it makes it easy to understand!! Enjoyed it, it was worth being outside in the freezing cold! Thank you so much Hector!!!

Ok, don't walk, run to Hector's class. If you are interested in learning how to really work your camera, I promise you, you will leave his class with what you need in order to do so. With the amount of time, effort and energy Hector puts into this class, I feel like I should have paid more. It's a long day, but it goes by so fast, and he gives you all the tools you need to make a jumpstart into photography (whether you're interested in it as a hobby or a career). I did a lot of research before I selected this class... reviews were one of the main reasons why I picked Hector, and now I know why his reviews are all so amazing. I am happy I now get to add to them!!

Although it was a long day yesterday, I had fun learning the the features about what my camera can do and how to take picture. There was so many inputs to remember but now I have a better understanding of how things work. Hector was very professional. His way of teaching made it FUN and INTERESTING. He's very passionate about photography. I think after yesterday’s class I’m better photographer now than I was before. It's a money well spent for such a small investment...taking the class was worth it. Thank you Hector.

I can honestly say that my experience in taking Hector's "Get out of Auto Class" exceeded my expectations, even after reading the reviews prior to taking this class.What I learned about using my camera, the teacher/student interactions, along with the interactions of the other students was well worth the cost and the time.If you are like I was looking for the right camera class that will teach you how to use your camera, then look no further Hector's class is the right one and you will not be sorry.

Wow, Hector's "Get out of Auto Class" was fantastic. I see few people work as hard as Hector does. He is really passionate about teaching photography and he is so patient and kind with his students. Hector is an organized teacher with a lesson plan which he thoroughly explains and gives each student time and assistance in understanding the information and finding the settings on their own cameras. For the money, this is a great value. We spent an entire day at the park doing "classroom" time and practicing what we learned. I will be taking more classes with Hector to continue learning about photography. After this class I do feel much more confident in taking good pictures and I understand how to operate in Manual mode--which was completely foreign to me before the class. Thank you, Hector, for all you do for your students and for making photography affordable and accessible.

My wife bought me a one day 'Get Out of Auto' class, she is the queen of research and once again her due diligence paid off in selecting Hector's class.

His class is well structured, with useful handouts, and Hector takes his time to explain the important functions, which has allowed me to get creative with my camera. I'll never use 'auto' again!

One note, Hector does hammer home the importance of doing some pre-class homework. It isn't difficult, but it really helps you get the most out of his class...make sure you do your homework!

Let me begin by saying that I was signed up for this class against my will. I've had a Canon for a while but was not taking photos (because I didn't know how to use my camera lol) My husband sent me an email with the class info and told me he signed me up because the reviews were really good.I was in Hector's "Get Out Of Auto" class. It was very educational, fun, easy and empowering. He taught us how not only use our cameras but also gave us tips and on how, where and where. He 'made sure that every single person was on the same page and understood how to use their camera, settings etc..(even though there were all different types of cameras). The class is fairly long 7am-5:30pm. But you'll learn so much. He's very professional yet very personal. Very warm personality, friendly and funny. You will not regret taking this class especially if you are a beginner. I had a fantastic time, learned a lot and at the end of the class we all became friends. I would love to take another class by Hector. Can't wait to see what he's got in sore next!***DON'T FORGET TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED!!!!

After reading all the positive reviews about Hector's classes, I decided to sign up and boy, am I so glad I did! It was a long day out in the sun (bring your sunscreen!) but it allowed us plenty of time to understand manual settings and grasp how our cameras and lenses really work, learn a great deal of techniques and tips (there were many "ah-ha!" moments) and practice our newfound knowledge with hands-on shooting.

I was a little nervous and intimidated at first, but there was no reason to be. Not only were all of us students beginners, Hector is also a super friendly, very knowledgeable instructor who repeated information for us and took the time to answer all of our questions. You can tell he has a genuine, deep passion for photography, and that is definitely what I want in an instructor.

The day was exhausting- but that's a good thing. Hector was very thorough and kept us learning and shooting through different exposure and image quality settings all day. (Don't worry, there are plenty of bathroom breaks and a lunch break.)

Whether you want to do this as a hobby or take the workshop as a first step in a photography career, you will be happy with the results. I went in there knowing next to nothing about my camera and came out feeling much more confident! After a little more practice on my own, I will definitely be ready to take more advanced classes in the future.

I took Hector's class "get out of auto" workshop and it was great! He teaches you little things about your camera that either you were too lazy to learn on your own or didn't understand and makes sure you can master that task. I would recommend all levels of photographers to take his one of his classes. You will not be disappointed. He will motivated and make you a much better photographer.

My 14 year old daughter and I took the get out of auto class together. Hector is a great teacher. He gave us some work before class so we could maximize our learning during the actual class. This was very helpful. Throughout the day, he patiently explained techniques as many times as we needed to understand and he gave us multiple opportunities to practice. We can't wait to practice what we learned. We feel so much more comfortable in using our camera!

Went into the class as a novice, and left the class with a general understanding and skill set to take different types of photos in manual mode, aperture and shutter priority. Snacks and study manuals were provided, and learned everything from basic fundamentals- to physics- to taking photos in extreme conditions (weather, darkness etc.) The Long Beach "No More Auto Mode" workshop was a great investment! Hector really takes our education seriously-- imagine my surprise when we had a test at the end-- but l left with a deep appreciation for his passion and patience as we learn everything about our cameras and how to use them. I would recommend this class in the future to anyone who just got into photography or needs a good refresher on taking excellent shots in manual mode/A or P mode. Thanks again Hector

Hector is an AMAZING instructor. He is very patient, informative and very fun! I would HIGHLY recommend this course for anyone that would like to know the proper way to use their camera. Even though the weather conditions were not how we all would have liked but we all battled the high winds togetherHere's a few suggestions for future students:1. When you receive the homework assignment, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE CLASS! This will make things much easier for you.2. Regardless of weather forecast, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WARM JACKET in your car...just in case!3. Don't be afraid to ask questions because Hector has all of the answers.4. Be ready to take LOTS of photos and have a great time!After the course, I went out and took pictures (because practice, practice, practice is the key) and I have a few photographer friends that were highly impressed with my photos. You will not be disappointed by taking this course with HECTOR THE GREAT!!! I can't wait to take the other courses with Hector!

Hector is amazing. I took his workshop about 4 years ago and my photography improved by leaps and bounds. And I just took it again to review what I had learned and what fill in the blanks for things I'd either never mastered or forgotten. Hector did not disappoint! He knows his craft - and that's just the beginning. In our class of 7 people, we learned about every button and dial on our camera quickly and simply. Digital Cameras Demystified!

Even though people can take great pictures on their phones and on Auto Mode on their SLRs, it's extremely liberating to learn what's possible once you have the skills. With practice, it's now about creativity and self-expression.

I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who has a DSLR or is considering getting one. It's a shame to have a camera that can do amazing things and not be able to take advantage of it. The workshop is worth every penny. Go for it!!

If you spend the money to invest in a camera then why not invest in a practical hands on class to learn how to use it! Get out of auto mode!!!! Hectors lessons not only help you learn the functions of the camera but how to use them in real life applications. You sit down discuss a function then get up as a group and try it out, compare images find the pros and cons and adjust your settings until it's just right! No more guessing for 10 minutes in front of a group of strangers then jumping back to auto because you're scared lol. Hector helps give you the confidence to be behind the lens in manual mode without hesitation! Thank you for an amazing class Hector!

If I could give this class 6 stars, I would! This was one of the best photography investments I've made since I purchased my camera. I loved every minute and learned more than I could have hoped to! From the moment I signed up for the class, Hector communicated with me about my camera, the pre-course work, etc. Then, on the day of the class, I got so much more from the class than I could have expected. There were so many basic skills taught in a manner which made them understandable and enjoyable ...the class was actually FUN! I walked away feeling like I could be confident taking photos in many situations (and not just in the ONE mode I knew how to use). I learned all the buttons on the camera and I'm beyond excited to start playing around with my new knowledge. I'm grateful for the expert learnings, the easy way Hector presented it and that it was so enjoyable and understandable.

Last weekend I took Hector's Get Out of Auto Mode class in Las Vegas. It was the best decision I've made and was money well spent! I had some knowledge going into the class from a brief 2 hour presentation class, but this goes well beyond that. He helps you understand your camera, and then puts you in situations to help give you hands on experience. It is an all day workshop, but goes quickly. He is very well prepared and creates an area you use for the day. He has a tent and chairs for a comfortable learning environment and provides water, Gatorade and snacks to help get you through the day. You do have homework he assigns the week before, but it helps get everyone to a place where everyone has a similar understanding of the camera, which helps the class progress. When you arrive, you receive a very large handbook in a 3 ring binder of everything you go over in the class, which is great to look back at as you practice. His hands-on exercises helped demonstrate a concept and made it easier to learn and remember. This was probably one of the best classes in general that I've taken and felt like I got a ton out of it. I feel a lot more confident in the pictures I am taking now and look forward to using this as a foundation to continue to grow from. Hector is a phenomenal teacher and a great photographer. If you are even considering taking one of his classes, do it. You won't regret it.

If you are looking for a class to help you understand how to use your DSLR out of auto mode, and take your photography to the next level, Hector's "Getting out of auto mode" is it! Hector is a fantastic teacher, who gave me all the information I needed to know - starting from the basics - in an easy to understand, practical, and fun manner. The class is a one day, full day instruction, with plenty hands on practice, as well as written instruction. He was also easily approachable with all of our many questions, and even offered continued advice should we need it after the class. I had a great time, met some great people, and learned a priceless amount of information. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get in to photography, on any level. Now it all makes sense! Thank you Hector!

I got my camera a couple of weeks ago and decided to take this workshop to learn how to use the camera in manual mode. I learned so much more than what I expected! The class was very complete! It goes over the technicalities of photography, as well as techniques, tips, gear and so much more. I had a great time and I felt like I got a lot out of it. Hector is a great photographer and learning from him was an amazing experience. I recommend his classes 100%.

He covers everything you have been wanting to learn about your camera including what equipment to buy and what all those modes actually mean! Hector also teaches all the information in a way that is relatable and easy to grasp - he even gives you a how-to binder of everything he taught that day. Thanks to the small class sizes, he is able to really help everyone individually and answer all questions along he way. I also really enjoyed meeting all the great people in class as well. I would highly recommend anyone new to the DSLR world to take his classes, you'll thank yourself later :)

I took DSLR workshop in San Pedro June 11, 2016 with Hector Gonzales. I got my DSLR camera few months ago, but I was shooting with Auto Mode only, because understanding the buttons was overwhelming. After spending a day with Hector, I feel very different about photography and understanding, how the camera works. Hector is an amazing photographer and an amazing instructor. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone, who wants to learn about photography and take it to the next level. Thank you Hector for your time, knowledge and sharing your passion for photography with us.

I took Hector's get out of auto workshop because I bought a new dslr camera and knew nothing about it. I was hoping to gain basic knowledge of how the camera works (besides auto mode) in a fun friendly environment. I picked Hector's class based on the reviews I read and I was not disappointed. Hector was patient, knowledgeable, funny but most importantly, passionate about photography. He made the class fun and interesting but informative at the same time. I would HIGHLY recommend this class if you are looking to learn how to use a DSLR camera and get out of auto mode.

I recently (Temecula May 1, 2016) took Hector's class, get out of Auto Mode, and was not only thrilled but completely amazed with what I learned. Hector has a gift of teaching to all different levels and learning styles. He doesn't simply show you the buttons on your DSLR but allows you to take pride in discovering, while thinking for yourself, how they work and why. His interactive techniques were extremely well planned, organized, and at times had a fun comical edge, only adding to a beautiful relaxing day. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Hector's class and can proudly say, from now on it is Manual Mode!

Hector is amazing! He is very knowledgeable, but importantly he's VERY patient. He is willing to focus on the triple areas. The class is 10 hours but it is worth EVERY minute. Time flies by thanks to all the hands time. Tons of mini photo shoots and demonstrations. There is a lot of material covered but it all ties in together leaving you knowledgeable of the cameras settings. I would definitely recommend this course to any person with a DSLR camera even if you just plan on using the camera for your own pleasure. This class will justify buying a DSLR over a point and shoot.

What a fantastic class! Great for beginners! Hector made learning about my camera and photography easy! He has a way of teaching that made sense to me!

I highly recommend this class for anyone who just purchased/acquired a DSLR or someone like me who has had her camera for over a year and is finally ready to venture out of auto mode! I look forward to attending future workshops with Hector!

I just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU Hector so very much for the class. It’s been four years and to this day I still utilize all the wonderful information you shared with us! I can honestly say that all the classes that I have attended, I have yet to meet an instructor with the enthusiasm, excitement and knowledge that you bring to the table. You absolutely made that class an incredibly fun and knowledgeable experience for myself and the rest of my classmates.
I was totally intimidated by the new DSLR that I previously purchased prior to the class, after the class I took the information you shared with us and I became a pro photographer. Keep up the great work Hector!

This course was recommended by several co workers who have taken Hectors class in the past. I was one of those guys who shot in auto all the time. I want more from my photos. Hectors instruction was excellent, he taught me how to use and configure the camera, how to read the meter, what makes a better photo, and of course it was fun!

This class is truly fantastic!
For years I have been saying I should take a class to learn how to use my Canon Rebel DSLR camera other than in auto mode. My husband signed me up for Hector's "Get out of auto mode" and it couldn't have been better.
You will receive some homework before the class that forces you to look at all your camera buttons and play around with them. The class itself is 10+ hours long (so prepare yourself for a long day) and you will get a binder with everything you learned that day.
Hector goes over all the basic photography terms, best practices, equipment and your goals of taking the class.
After reviewing all the physical buttons on your camera he explains each function in detail and makes you practice. The class is very hands on so you can see the effect of different settings on your own camera and learn from it.
You will go through all options of your camera until you "graduate" to shooting in manual.
Hector is amazing and it shows that he loves photography and teaching alike. He has the day perfectly planned out and created a great manual that you get to take home. He also answers any questions that you have and makes sure he has the right props so you can practice!
Don't waste your time or money on other classes, as tempting as the Groupon photography classes might sound. You will just end up taking Hector's class anyway :)

If you are looking for an amazingly comprehensive photography class that will teach you to use your camera to take amazing pictures, look no further! I decided to take Hector's class based on all of the 5 start reviews he has and the class TOTALLY lived up to all those stars! Hector is a great teacher and I was so impressed with his ability to take something that he knows backwards and forwards, and break it down into steps, hands on activities and explanations that help even the most novice of photographers learn. Hector is very laid back and makes the day so much fun and educational. By the end of the day I felt like I knew my camera and had the skills to be able to take a great picture! I am so excited to practice my new skills and continue improving my photographs, armed with all of the amazing tools, tricks, tips and skills that Hector was able to teach me. I was a little nervous when I recieved my "pre-homework" for this class and was not sure if I would do well in the class. The homework is very minimal BUT helped me to better understand the concepts that were taught during the day. Hector takes the time to show you how everything works on your camera and HOW those buttons will help you take great pictures. I don't have a bad thing to say about this class, it was flat out AWESOME!! Thank you Hector!!!

WOW! Where to even begin? I just took Hector's class this Saturday and was blown away! I did not know what to expect out of a full day photography class, and walked away SO excited and much more knowledgable about my camera! Hector is so passionate about photography, which transfers to his students! He could answer every question about every camera, regardless of the brand. During the wonderful day together, we learned ALL about the best ways to use our cameras, the three most important rules (take the class to learn!), lighting, and other great tips and tricks! Hector is so kind and a great teacher for anyone at any level! I am so grateful to have been able to learn from Hector and look forward to being able to take a class from him soon!

Hector, Magnifico!! If you want to learn how to use a camera Hector is the man. A teacher and a gentelman who takes the time individually on every lesson we are working on. I did not expect how he takes so much time for every person and never misses a name and never misses a beat. He demands you learn or he won't leave you alone, and he knows when you do not know...I want to take his session on night photography sometime in the future. I wouldn't consider anyone but Hector. I highly recommend him if you want to learn about your camera. He's a great resource. JW

I know how to work my camera properly and definitely loving the manual along with the Shutter Speed and Aperture mode. I feel very comfortable working with my camera now and know how to fix my pictures in shadows and highlights. Definitely worth the money and would recommend anyone to take the workshop. You will surely enjoy it. Thank you again sir Hector and looking forward to your workshop!!!!

I really, really, really enjoyed the Beginners “Get out of auto mode” class held in Las Vegas on March 28. I learned so much. It was a long day but packed full of learning, fun, and enjoying the company of fellow beginners and the patient tutoring our first-class instructor. I can’t wait to slowly go through everything and let it sink in so that someday it’s all second nature. It was obvious Hector has put a lot of work and effort into this class, and it shows. He has a heart for wanting his students to learn how to use their cameras and he passes on the genuine passion he has for photography. He took what initially seemed difficult and confusing and laid the foundation for us now to take and build and grow our knowledge and comfort and skill with the camera. I’m really excited about going through his workbook and practicing everything he covered and someday taking his Advanced class. Thank you for a truly incredible learning experience. I’d recommend your class to anyone in a heartbeat!

I took the Get Out Of Auto Mode workshop and it was some of the best money I have ever spent. I had very limited knowledge on how to use my camera before the workshop. I was so new to my DSLR I didn't even know how to hold my camera correctly. Hector teaches the advantage of using manual mode and now I primarily use manual mode because of all the advantages it offers. I went from not knowing how to hold my camera correctly to knowing how to correctly shot in manual mode through this workshop. I highly recommend it.

I had been wanting to learn how to use my Cannon Rebel T3 in Manual Mode and wanted a hands on class VS. an online class ..I found Hectors class by searching the internet for a photography class in my area "Temecula". Took the pt. 1 Class "Getting out of Auto Mode" .. and it was awesome. Hector took all the fear out of switching from Auto to Manual. He Has a Simple way of explaining how to use aperature, shutter speed and ISO and teaching you how each manual mode works. He brings a binder with all the information he teaches in class and sends each student home with their own binder. There were 8 people in class (his max.).. and we all got his hands on attention and help throughout the class .. and we all pitched in to help one another. It was a full day of information and hands on teaching. Hector was very friendly and welcoming and very easy to understand and work with. I asked him on lunch break how long it would take before I would be totally out of Auto Mode and he said the end of this class .. and sure enough .. I'm out of Auto Mode ! .. I'm looking forward to practicing and getting better with time and can't wait to take another of Hectors classes in the near future. Thanks so Much Hector for making the day such a pleasure to learn.. no less in a beautiful location too ! Everyone that took this class had a great time ...

Took Hector's "Getting Out Of Auto Mode" class, and It was exhilarating to learn about the composition of a complicated piece of equipment and everything was made easier with his guidance into Shutter Speed, Apertures, ISO, WB etc.,. Hector was caring, patient and knowledgeable. I hope to practice enough and take his other classes. If better photography is your goal, here is your man. I highly recommend his classes.

If you really want to learn how to use your camera, take Hector's class! I was sort of comfortable with aperture mode, but completely intimidated by manual mode and really wanted to learn it well. I love shooting in manual now! I can control the exposures and I am pretty comfortable adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to get the shot I want. Hector explains how all these interact to get light into the camera and it makes so much sense to me now. Highly recommend his class! You'll be glad you took it!

I will definitely be taking more classes.

I took Hector's class, Getting Out of Auto, in Long Beach this weekend and it was awesome! It was a long day with a lot of information, but Hector did a great job breaking everything down, giving good examples, and giving hands-on learning experiences to make all the info more manageable and easy to learn. By the end of the day, I felt like I could handle my DSLR in all the modes, instead of just auto like I've been using for the past few months. If you're new to your camera and want to learn about all the buttons, or you've had your camera for a while and just want to learn how to take better pictures, I would strongly recommend this class for you. It is well worth it. Thank you, Hector!

This was the best photography class I have ever taken! I only wish that I had taken this class years ago. I have taken other photography classes in the past where you are given a lecture and assignment and then you come back to class to review and critique everyone's pictures - this method was never effective for me and I ended up taking pictures in auto again. After this class, I am a changed person! I highly, highly recommend Hector's teaching style, we took so many pictures that day that my confidence in using my camera has definitely changed. I am looking forward to taking Part 2!
