San Diego Photography No more auto mode workshop June 6, 2026

Another San Diego "No More Auto Mode" photography workshop is in the books! I had the pleasure of meeting four new students, all armed with Canon cameras and ready to finally break up with the Auto mode button. The weather was absolutely perfect—then again, this is San Diego, so that's almost cheating. One of the students was a teenager whose father drove all the way from…...

Hector's class is amazing. I’ve taken classes at local camera stores that had us stay in either AV or TV mode. With He tore we reviews and used all 3 modes so we could see how Manual mode worked. He went through all of the function buttons so we would be comfortable using by touch. It’s a long day but it was interesting and fun. Well worth the time, thank you Hector.

Hector was wonderful. I went in there, not knowing how to turn on my camera to be very confident and comfortable, taking pictures and being able to change lighting and focus. Great class for beginners that do not know anything. Thank you so much, Hector.
