Last week I talked about how great the canon ae-1 is. This week I want to talk about *how* to shoot this camera to good results with her.

Specifically, how to capture movement with her and get your images in focus!

Also… I’m so excited because I’m trying something new this week and made a recorded video lesson. These particular tips on how to shoot with the canon ae-1 felt so much easier to put into words and pictures vs writing. I would absolutely love to know how you like this!
