Course covered so much good territory. It answered some of the key questions I had about macro photography -- especially with regard to focus stacking, rotating the focus ring to get multiple shots vs. using a focus rail, etc. -- questions which I could not find answers for anywhere else. Excellent discussion of magnification rates at the beginning of the course and excellent discussion of Helicon at the end. A great reference source as I plunge into macro photography. Thank You.
