So all of these are cakes. The first two are black forest cake and the last one is a custom-made Totoro-shaped pound cake. They're all very good. What's different between them ? The first was bought in a shop and the two other were home-made

The point I'd like to make here is that it is perfectly acceptable to let someone or something else do the job for you. But the real fun begins when you begin to make things by yourself. And when you know what you're doing, you come to appreciate (or appreciate) the things that are automatically done for you.

In photography term, that means that auto mode is not necessarily evil, it depends on what you want to achieve with photography. For instance, I use auto mode all the time with my cell phone, because most of the time, when I use it, I want to make a memory of something. However, because I have some experience in photography (I baked my own cake), most people say that I make better pictures than them.

The goal of this class is to make you lean to the side of the home-made than to the side of automatic
