Taking the Photograph: The Core Courses
Before becoming an intermediate or an advanced photographer, a person must learn how to use the camera and to leave behind the Auto mode. Through learning photographic theory, exposure modes & settings, and compositional rules photographers are able to create the image they want.
This section will be focused on the core course I completed during the MET program. Without learning the theory and the method of application it is difficult for an instructor to capture the lessons and the courses they desire.

It was important to me to complete the majority of the core courses at the beginning of the program. While I base my teaching in theory that I had learned throughout my two undergraduate degrees (BHkin & BEd), I applied the theories with the important ideas in mind, I no longer remembered where one theory ended and the other began. By completing the core courses early on I was able to focus on learning theory before launching into elective studies. This is much the same as becoming an intermediate photographer. The key to maturing into an intermediate photographer is to master your camera. To master the various exposure modes (theory), allowing you to shoot in the appropriate mode to get the best results in creating the image you want. Yet, another key component to progressing as a photographer is to understand compositional rules. Knowing when it is best to layout an image in a specific manner; to use the rule of thirds, to use leading lines, or any other. By knowing how to compose your image the photographer is able to tell the story they want heard, they are able to help focus the viewer; just as a teacher composes a particular lessons guiding their students learning.
Unlike the beginner photographer, the intermediate and amateur photographer is able to take control of the camera. They are willing to take risk applying the photographic theory as they work to improve their skills.
