Lighting Walk Photography
Class was great. The material presented was easy to digest and very useful. The time just flew, I did not realize that we did not take a coffee break until I got home and I did not see anybody go to the bathroom during class. Two signs that everyone was paying attention. Travel plans will not have me back until the spring but I hope to attend when it gets warmer. Thanks again -
