Make the Switch to M!

Hi! I’m Joel. I’m a dad and love taking pictures of my family.

And I’m going to show you what it takes so you can take the pictures of your family you’ve always wanted to be able to take.

Since you’re here, I’m betting you wish your pictures looked more like the one’s you pay a pro for. I’m guessing you even bought a sweet new camera recently or some time ago thinking it would do it for you. And I’m also guessing that you’re a little disappointed, maybe even a lot disappointed with your results so far.

At least that’s completely how I felt.

Many years ago, I bought my Canon Rebel XT thinking I was going to rock out my family pictures. Except, after unboxing it, I was completely overwhelmed with the settings, the terminology, and the buttons and didn’t know where I needed to start. So I switched it to AUTO mode, and snapped away…and…you guessed it, my pictures just didn’t have that punch I was hoping they would have. After spending all that $$ my pictures still looked just half-way decent, and more depressingly, Amateur…They were flat, boring, and just, sucky pictures.

I was totally stuck. Disapointed. And frustrated. So I gave up. Put the camera down. For like 3 years.

But the camera was always in sight, so occasionally I’d pick it up and fiddle with it. But the settings just never seemed to click for me. The pictures still stunk.

Pause on my story for a second…does any of this ring true with you? Resonate any??

Maybe you’ve been told you need a new and better lens from a friend or a friend of a friend, but you have NO idea what to get?

Or your pictures seem to always have a bright spot in the middle from where the flash hits.

Or your pictures come out and they’re just so busy you’re not sure what you were taking in the first place or where you’re supposed to look.

Or they’re out of focus! Or the background is in focus…

The list goes on and on…

Well, to pick back up on my story, I finally picked up the dang camera, and told myself I’m going to figure this out if it takes forever.

Thankfully, it didn’t take forever. And once I figured out 3 basic settings, I was off! And hooked!

And I want to show you everything I’ve learned since then.

I created Switch to M for people who bought a DSLR, but don’t know how to use it outside of AUTO mode, to help eliminate frustration from not getting the most out of your shiny new DSLR. I made this step-by-step, super easy to follow online course to teach people how to take better pictures by switching to Manual Mode and really understand how to better use your camera so that you enjoy “pro-quality” pics you take yourself, and have much much better images to save and share with others!

After you watch the modules in Switch to M, you’ll know what each setting is for, how to use it, and how it affects your picture.

What’s best, is that I wanted to create this course to be quick. They’re short videos. And more importantly, I wanted to create this course so anyone could understand.

So I taught my 6 year old daughter Sadie.

She already loves picture taking, she has her own little Hello Kitty Camera. But I wanted to see if I could teach her how to use my DSLR, in Manual Mode.

And I did! In an hour and a half! I’m not even joking! If she can do it I KNOW you can too!

Imagine you’re out at the park with your child, it’s evening time, the sun is getting lower but it’s still light enough to play, it’s the “GOLDEN HOUR”! You have your camera and snap a picture of your little girl as she’s swinging. You hit it perfectly as the sun’s golden light shines from behind her hair casting a beautiful flare in the shot. She’s perfectly bright enough, and sharply focused. You fall in love with the picture instantly.

Or imagine you’re at your sons soccer game and he runs past you on the field dribbling the ball. You snap a perfect action shot mid stride and get that perfect “Game Face” he has as he’s running by you. The background fades away in splendid blurriness but he’s sharp as a tack. (You later blow this shot up and it hangs as a poster in his room).

Or imagine having the ability to capture all of your little baby’s developments. From the early, eat, sleep, and repeat stages to holding her head up for the first time, to those precious starr-y eye stares, to sitting up, first crawls, first foods, first steps…all the firsts…And you have absolutely beautiful pictures chronicling everything. That you took yourself.

This doesn’t have to be imaginary. It could be you. I want to help make it so.

You must be able to relate since your here! Here’s what I’ll teach you.

• Module 1 is all about learning what all the major buttons on your camera do, where they are, and how to change the major settings.
• In Module 2 you begin learning about the Exposure Triangle and ISO.
• Module 3 moves on to Aperture and F-Stop in the Exposure Triangle.
• In Module 4 you will learn about the last part of the Triangle, Shutter Speed.
• Module 5 puts all three parts of the Exposure Triangle in an easy to follow and understand way so that your pictures are now properly exposed! 🙂
• In Module 6 you will learn about Composition and Framing, how and where we actually put the things that are in our picture, in our picture.
• In Module 7 you’re going to learn all about Focus. to make sure we know how everything that’s supposed to be sharp gets sharp.
• And in Module 8 you will learn about White Balance and how you can make sure your colors look like they’re supposed to.
• If that was it, you would be all set to start taking amazing pictures….Cue cheesy commercial music…but wait there’s more!

You also get a great bonus video where I teach you about Lenses, what to look for, what’s important in the search, and even give you some great options and recommendations.

AND, a bonus video showing you my exact editing workflow. With this you’ll see how I give my pictures a that little extra umph, punch, pizzaz, whatever you want to call it, that really makes them pop and makes my wife LOVE them!

AND FINALLY, I made a really fun video actually walking you around with me while I shoot some pictures of my kids/family at the park and talk about what I’m doing as I’m doing it, looking over my shoulder. It’s like being with me on a “Shoot” without being here! And we’ll go back to the computer to look at them, pick some favorites, and do a quick edit so you can see just how fast you can actually do this stuff! 🙂

Now, if you were going to actually pay someone to come teach you in your home, it would likely cost you hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Or, there are other online options out there too for professionals you could try that cost upwards of $1,000 but are very complex and technical (not exactly for the average Mom or Dad photographer).

Switch to M is priced at a one time payment of only $135. For less than the cost of hiring a pro-photographer to come to your next event, you can learn to use your own camera the right way. A skill with a life-time of rewards. Not to mention, beautifully captured memories.

I know some people will hear all of this and still have a question in the back of their mind like this one…”But what if this doesn’t work for me” I totally get it. And that’s why I’m offering a 30 Day 100% money-back guarantee. But only if you actually actively watch all the modules, actively work with your camera. And practice. Like all awesome things, this does take practice. And that’s the fun of it! Watching your pictures get better! And I promise if you do what I teach and practice, you will see your pictures get better right in front of your eyes.

Here’s what to do.

Simply click the “Sign Me Up” button at the bottom of this page. You’ll be directed to a page to enter your name and some billing information. After your credit card is processed successfully you will receive an email with you login name and password and a link to get started.

Simply click the link, log in on the Switch to M site, and you’ll be shown a short welcome video from me walking you through the site and helping you get started right away. Watch and learn at your own pace with your camera right along side you. Binge on all of them for a few hours and start practicing or take your time with 1 or 2 modules at a time. The point is, everything is there ready and waiting for you. Even the awesome bonuses.

So, now I present you with a choice.

You know this is important because you’re still here.

You could take door #1 and go at this alone. Experiencing the same frustration and mistakes you’ve already been feeling and making, the same way I felt.

Or, you can take door #2 and keep hiring a professional photographer for everything every event, every portrait, all the time. How much would this cost over the lives of your kids? Thousands and thousands of dollars! Even within just a few years.

Or, you can take door #3, Switch to M.

All I want is for you to love using your camera and the pictures YOU take as much as I do.

The choice on how you get there is all yours.
