    I thought this was a well rounded event. I really enjoyed Nik's teaching style and everything he brought to the table. Easy to understand theoretical portion, and I was so happy that we were able to practice. Nik paid good detail to each student's camera types and suggestions on best "shooting" practices for each camera. A great introduction course that keeps you wanting to learn more, and develop your skills further. Highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to do just that little bit more with the camera they have.

The supplemental information sent after the course is very helpful and this is something I can refer to as a refresher.
