This is my 3rd course for photography, I am still in the middle of the Master Class, but did take the other Landscape class, and learned a ton. I am a beginner and am soaking up all of the information. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks? I am 67 and looking forward to starting my new hobby of photography. My wife and I are headed out on an Alaska cruise next week, Aug 1, 2023, and I am looking forward to putting my new skills to practice. Thank you for a very clear, well paced course it has been great!

Mostly this has helped me approach landscape photography a different way. Previously I've been a little disappointed about what my eye saw but I didn't manage to capture in the photograph. Now to start putting into practice!

I took this course anticipating a vlog type landscape guide, how to choose locations, travel and compose images and less for a beginner photographer's course, but that's probably my fault.

Right at the start of the course it was clear that this is what I need to make my landscape photos WOW! I feel more comfortable taking landscape photos but I never get that WOW feeling. The advice you gave me up to now is definitely going to work. Thanks. Can't wait to see the rest of the course

Amazing! Thanks to Phil, Sam and Will for their superior efforts in making this course. The hours spent in the field, early mornings to capture the sunrises, late afternoons/evenings for sunsets, the whole scenario; you guys are so dedicated to your work and profession it's a pleasure to have you all share your skills, knowledge and finest expertise in field of photography. Thank you once again.

This was a big disappointment, especially compared to other course by Will, Sam, and Phil. One location. No variation on landscape types and approaches to shooting. Felt like lots of unnecessary footage to add minutes to the timeline. I didn't even find the sample images to be very compelling or inspiring. Some of the best material is in a couple of the clips in the 'Bonus' section. If this was the first course I watched from these guys, there wouldn't be a second. :-(

Great course, I like it very much how Phil, Sam and Will explain how to do it and I like the one which the three of you edit the same photo. It is great to see each of you how you are editing your photo. This is a great course, I recommend for you whom want to learn more about photography especially Landscape Photography. Thank you Phil, Sam and Will, you guys are amazing.

There are some shared material between their landscape Photography and night photography, but that’s something that I already expect to find, since there are some overlapping topics. The course is really great to see the theory and pratical results. I really appreciate it!

I just loved this course. The idea to have three coaches or instructors instead of just one is great - they all have different ideas about what a great photo is, there is never only one way to take a real good photo. You want details in the background? Great, use this setting. Oh, you want the background blurred? Fine, use that setting. I was in a photo-club, we discussed our photos and people started to say things like: don't you know that you use this or that f stop for landscape? No, sorry, I didn't know that and I have different ideas about what MY photos should look like... In this course, that's just fine and that's what I love about it.

I love every course from this group. They do a wonderful job sharing their knowledge of photography to help others get great shots. This course does not disappoint !

There is a lot of useful information in this course. I particularly liked the lesson where all three fellows edited the same photo. It shows that there is more than one way to edit. I also appreciate that PhotoShop and Lightroom were used. The information on creating panoramas is something I will use. I live in the Southwest of the US so the photos were very much like what I take. The information on equipment in the added lessons is good. There was some audio problems in that. It went to mono sound in one. Another had low volume. I can see myself coming back to review the lessons in the future.
