Nice 'bite sized' lessons that give you the right amount of information to understand each concept. Great way to get started in photography and a quick way to refresh yourself if you forget something!
By Greg Mason on 1/20/2015
This course was exactly what I was looking for as someone who has always enjoyed photography but wanted to improve my overall abilities. The way the course id broken down into groups and sub categories allowed me to really focus on the areas that I needed to improve. For a beginner this is also ideal because each section is short and easy to digest. I will definitely be recommending this to others who also have the "shutter bug". Great course and the personable instructor really made this an enjoyable experience.

Bob, Excellent job covering the basics as well as scratching on some more advanced concepts. Like you I started with Tri X pan film and an all manual camera, evolving through some more sophisticated hardware (none of which did a better job, just easier). After 30+ years of photography, I found there were terms I had been misusing and functions I misunderstood from day one. Your course will assist beginners get a good start and seasoned enthusiasts a great refresher. Thanks!! jeff

This course was exactly what I needed: it got to the point quickly without a lot of time-wasting fluff, and it is packed with tips that I was able to use immediately. I won't be missing those important action shots anymore! The instructor is approachable, and makes the concepts easy to understand. Well worth my time.
