Christine was excellent in giving m important information about how to set my aperture, shutter speed and how to look at the subjects in order to get interesting photos. I highly recommend this experience!

Richard patiently walked us through the steps and gave great instruction. I finally know how to navigate my camera that I've been using on auto for ten years. I'd definitely recommend this course to others
