Very practical. Very detailed yet surprisingly not boring. Gives information on a topic and moves on.

He started slow with using real life examples. Has been getting better. For the first half of the class, it was basically a lecture. While he has lots of great information, for me it's always better to use real life examples.

I learned a lot about the camera settings and now have to go out and practice to take better photos. I am excited to go learn how to use my features within my camera and understand the settings. I am going to play with the ISO, aperature and shutter speed now that I have a better understanding of how they work together and how to set them up to capture a better photo.

These classes are great. Way better than I expected. I am new to photography. I've read some books and watched different videos. This is really helping me fill in the gaps.

This is a really great introduction to landscape photography with lots of detailed and useful advice for new photographers. It's helped me to take those first steps in landscape photography, helped me choose the right equipment and to really think about how, when and why I shoot certain images. The additional Lightroom introduction was also really useful and set me on my way processing the images I captured in the field. There is a bit of "we'll talk about this later" and if you are new to photography you think "well, why not now?" but it does make sense as you move through the course, just something to be aware of. Overall, a great course and well worth the money.

I have been interested in landscape photography for a number of years and have built up my equipment to include - Nikon D810 body; Tamron 24-70mm zoom lense; and Sigma 70-30mm zoom lense. I am eager to improve my overall knowledge on composition and settings etc. and also to be able to master Lightroom.

I already own a camera and several lenses. I'm feeling that his recommendations are too late. Lots of good information although the instructor's delivery is a little "rapid fire" at times.

Photography is my hobby for about 20 years. I have done a couple of course and always trying to learn. This course was interesting and provided me a lot information. Probably learned more than in the last couple of years, really took my photos to the next level! Thank you

The course was good I used it mostly for a refresher course for different areas. The only issue that I had was in the last #78. I had a hard time seeing exactly where he was on the program screen. I could see it but it was a little difficult.

I have a 2010 Sony Nex-3 with a 18-200mm lens. I never thought much about it other than point and shoot until taking this course. I have already found functionality in my camera that had been turned off. I am already taking better pictures and learning a ton. Thanks!

feels rather rushed and needs more details on actual process would be handy , ok course if you have some knowledge of how to use a dslr , but maybe not if your a total beginner ..
