Cameras, Exposure, and Photography
Photography Basics and Beyond: From Smartphone to DSLR,
Welcome to Course One of Photography Basics and Beyond: From Smartphone to DSLR! In these first 4 Modules you will gain the knowledge and the confidence that will help you make good choices as you consider qualities of the camera you own, and the qualities of the other types of digital cameras you might be considering. You will learn about the basic functions that most digital cameras have in common. You will also go beyond the "technical" matters and learn about how you can make exciting pictures by emphasizing the aspects of Frame and Vantage Point to interpret old subjects in new ways. Discovering accessories that photographers find useful, and the types of camera bags from mini to carry-on sized, is also in store for you. You will also make your first photographs and, if you are a subscriber to the specialization, upload pictures to the web gallery and start interacting with your fellow learners in our "Gallery." Let's get started with Module One!

peer review process
I loved this course as an introduction to modern photography and I found the peer review process y helpful!
The peer review process could be improved, but also it is beneficial to review other peoples work.
Well, this course is geared to make one dwell on that, steering you to give some thought about how you can photograph even everyday subjects interestingly; and the peer review process serves well in learning how to view your own work, and that of others, objectively.
Love the peer review process!
Or better yet, the peer review process should be fixed so that the begging for reviewers is not necessary.Also, about 1/3 of the people who tried to review my submissions could not open the photos.

step by step
The course is well planned and helps you develop your skills step by step.
This course broke the ice for me, step by step, week by week somehow my mind opened up to it and all of the sudden, lost all fears of my camera that it has been patience in silently waiting for me....for years.Thanks so much to Coursera, the Michigan University and Peter and Mark for this wonderful oportunity.
I really appreciate the step by step explanation.
I never believe that a course of photograph would be available and one that take you step by step is awesome, keep this kind of coursers where you learn everything and with a teacher that take you and have a patient to teach and give you examples, that is also the key, examples.
