  • Selecting the Perfect Settings: Understand how Mike chooses his camera settings for different scenarios, and why these choices are crucial for the desired outcome.

  • Inspirational Scenarios: From the city to serene landscapes, experience diverse environments and learn how to make the most of each.

This course is not just about watching; it's about learning through observation and understanding the practical applications of photographic principles. I want you to take these ideas, adapt them and use them for yourself in whatever way inspired you.

Whether you're a hobbyist or an aspiring professional, "Masterclass Part 5" will deepen your understanding of combining the techniques and skills of photography and enhance your ability in capturing the world around you.

Just finished the whole course, Part 1-5. I really enjoyed all the real-time examples that went along with the explanations of photography concepts, and seeing the settings adjusted on the camera with explanation was well done. Each section built on top of the other, in a very organic way. The pacing of what was presented and information was very good, not too fast or too slow. You can tell this course was well thought out. I would recommend anyone to take this course to get a solid understanding of photography and gain confidence with their camera. It really demystifies everything and makes it clear and simple. Thanks Mike, enjoyed your presentation and work on this series. You have a warm energy and passion for what you do, which adds a lot to the series. All the best.

I’ve finished the first four courses and finally reached the fifth. It’s been truly great—both educational and inspiring. I really appreciate the effort you put into making sure we understand everything without getting bored. Because you enjoy teaching so much, I enjoy learning too. Thanks again, Mike!

The course itself was good, some valuable information on what to do on site when taking pictures, but I would say a quarter of the course is other videos from previous masterclasses.

I just completed the 5th of Mike's classes. I enjoyed each of them, and they helped me get a better perspective and increase my photography skills.

Mike is a great instructor! We've loved his courses, learned a lot. So engaging, so practical. We went through his entire course as a family and LOVED it!! We are doing photography as a hobby, and we have gotten immensely better after going through his course!! I am recommending his course to others!

By Andre Beauchesne on 11/27/2024

Again, a lot of very exciting ideas and suggestions to go from a good photo to a fantastic shot! A lot of previous notions seen previously come into play in this part. A lot of exciting work to do to master those ideas. Looking forward to going on a field trip to experience some of them. Thank you, very good teaching; I am learning a lot.

By Saurabh Pandey on 7/18/2024

It was an amazing learning experience. Mike is a great photographer himself and teaches from his own experiences. 'How to make the best out of any situation' can summarize the end goal of his courses. I still don't know about my destination in the world of photography, but this journey with Mike will always be there to inspire me to take the best shot regardless the situation. Thanks Mike!

Amazing as the rest of the courses from Mr.Browne! Great explanations that are easy to understand. Can't thank you enough for how much I have learned from your courses sir!

By Peter Rinkel on 2/11/2024

I did the "old" version of "Masterclass in Photography", which are now Part 1 to 4. I bought the new part 5, and it holds the quality of the Part 1 to 4 courses. I is easy to follow, educational and with bits of humour here and there. Thank you very much Mike
