I really enjoy learning photography from this session because it talks about all the basic things you need to know about photography!

By Kelly Purdy on 11/10/2018

So far yes it is great I've learned a ton of information in a short period of time and this is only the 1st lesson

By Pallavi Saxena on 10/30/2017

In the first lecture I was expecting some basic concepts of photography explained. Though the information presented was good for the topic 'Aperture', as a beginner I found it a bit difficult to grasp.

By Al Betancourt on 7/18/2017

I like the explanations, being able to follow the written manual, and the fungsigments really help me understanding the lesson.

By Piers Williams on 7/7/2017

Good explanation of f/stop and nice and easy to follow

Tons of valuable information taught at an appropriate pace for a beginning photographer. Funsignments were fabulous practice. Short quizzes were great reviews. Loved being able to work at my own pace. Would recommend this course to anyone starting out. Information was well organized, video examples and power point print out helped tremendously!

By David Bowman on 2/25/2017

The instructor does a lot of reading of the written material presented on the screen but the instruction is accurate and very useful to the beginning photographer. The assignments (funsignments) are appropriate and enhance the course material presented with each lesson. Quiz questions do help to insure understanding of the course material.

I like the pace the instructor uses, she gives time to digest & understand the lesson before moving onto the next one. Very clear descriptions & instructions, lessons are really starting to make some sense to me now.

By Sandra Hoffman on 12/7/2016

I understand Aperture! That is the first time I actually got what someone was trying to explain to me. I think the book and the visual step by step instruction, helped 100%. GREAT Instructor. Extremely pleased!!!

By Robert Wearing on 5/24/2015

I am writing this review while I am still working through the modules, I have to say for me, it strikes the right balance so far. Balanced easily understood theory followed by a various practical sessions which really is the point, and that is to get out and use your camera. excellent support from Mary Buck so far. All in all so far so very good.
