    Very Informative

    The main reason I selected this course is the basic instructions for the basic beginner. My curiosity was how to use the manual features of a camera without taking a semester college course. And here, towards the beginning, he explained ISO, Aperture, and Shutter settings and how they mingle together in various photo shots. Very basic and simple to understand explanations and examples. I was pleased he kept all the subject explanations to this format. Very good first timer photographer introduction course.
