Great course
This was a very informative course!
What a Great course.
I always loved taking pictures so my boyfriend talked me into buying a camera. I did research and bought me a Canon EOS 2000/Rebel T7 but never understood all features and menus on my camera. My boyfriend bought me this beginners class and I am so glad. Thank you for helping me to learn and understand my Camera Your course is so informative and easy to follow. I love how you have us do it with you.. I put some of your teaching into some photos of a young girl that had a power lifting meet yesterday and they turned out good. When she has her next meet I will be better.
