Yes, I am enjoying the lessons.  My basic technical skills are fairly sound from many years of film photography but I'm finding that the course is bringing on my digital skills very nicely.  I look forward to the new lessons.

I couldn't write enough expressing how much you've helped me understand photography as well as how to operate my camera, a77. I like how you explain the differences in brands as well... You have explained alot of topics I wasn't sure about and the way you teach is extremely thorough.

Tonya Allmon

But I am truthfully less afraid of my camera...those mysterious settings are becoming less daunting!  Thanks to your visual demonstrations!  Thanks for your wonderful courses.  I've looked at many others, but none were are well done and well prepared as yours!

Janet Smith

Thanks Ken, I really enjoy the classes. You keep it simple and to the point. It has helped me out quite a bit.

Ken

Really enjoyed these. I was an EasyDSLR Gold member and I am glad the community feel that those classes had are even better with the DPInsiders. Really looking forward to Month 2!

Jeff Smeraldo

Enjoying the classes (good insight and reviews), which have good examples and are done slowly enough to easily comprehend the info. Also forces one to get out (or in) to use one's camera. Thank you for the many clarifications!

Joani Robson

Just to let you know. I think your way of teaching is awesome. I love the feedback. I changed the crop as you suggested and I think it's way better.

Thomas Hawkins

There is a depth to the details provided that goes beyond what I've found commonly available in other online courses. Thus, even though I consider myself to be at an intermediate level, I've found new insights in every lesson. Thank you

David Enfield

You have made me understand my camera and how it works in a way I understand. The examples on taking better photos is so informative. Classes are right length so I don't get lost. Best and most informative photography course I've had!

Jeff

You have taught me how to greatly improve my photography skills immensely. What more can I say?... It has been a great learning experience.

I am a visual and hands on type of learner so that being said, it has helped me in a more descriptive way through step by step video examples that I can refer back to rather than fumbling through a book or a manual. It is also very structured and I enjoy the webinars at the end of each month that summarize the lessons that have been gone over. I have learned much in this course as the lessons aren't long winded or super technical. It provides a main function or idea and then allows the learner to expand knowledge though inspiration and imagination. I also appreciate the quick response with questions or when uploading an image to the site, it keeps the inspiration alive. This is a good course, keep it going!

Sam Fitchlee

Has been a great help with how to get correct exposure in different lighting situations. Enjoyed the in depth talks on flash as well as macro and HDR photography.

DPinsider

I just watched month 10, weeks 1 thru 3 and have learned so much. Wish I had these lessons a month ago.

Mary Bastida

I’ve been photographing for over 70 years and I think I’ve gotten pretty good. But since I joined DPinsiders I have noticed even more improvement.
Through the years I’ve taken many courses and attended many lectures but haven’t notice much improvement. I’m very excited with your course and the improvement is quite noticeable, even my wife has noticed.

Tony Sisneros

Your course is great - you present it in an easy to understand manner and pace it so the information has a chance to sink in.

Kathleen Woodhouse

Your teaching style is fabulous and I can see how you are laying a solid foundation of essential knowledge, which will be necessary to fully understand and assist in developing personal style. It was a very good day, when I found your site.

Kerry (from OZ)

I have been watching all lessons and feel that my photography has improved a lot.

Nili Yovel

I didn't expect to comment so soon, but THANK YOU!! ... Playing with Manual has been enlightening. Shooting out the window at a blizzard.. A book (manual) cannot deliver the info as you can.

"Peg" Bird

Just want to say thank you for these classes. I'm really enjoying them and look forward to the new assignment each week. I agree with Joani, you teach at a pace that makes it click for me.

Sharon Rocker

I have enjoyed the first month very much. I attended the Q&A live and really enjoyed that format.

Julia Barton

Explored areas I haven't considered. Equipment evaluation. Lighting alternatives. Lots I didn't know about. Cropping photographs, Artistic Vision and Perception. Golden Mean, Diffraction on lenses. Too many things to name!

David Court

I've learned to think about my shots more before I start shooting. I also understand my camera better now. My pictures have definitely improved. I always look forward to and enjoy the classes.

Ann

While your explanations are fairly basic, your particular take does give me food for thought. I think the most impact is that you have had me think differently about my photography and have supported the evolution of my photographic eye.

Michael Walker

The journey has helped me learn different techniques and apply them in the appropriate situations.

Ken Winham

Perhaps most importantly the lessons encourage me to go out and shoot with a focus on a principle and/or a feature or capability of my camera. Your lessons show the errors that can be made and explains the errors

DPinsider

Somehow made me see the light - all of a sudden things really clicked and I can change ISO or aperture or do HDR to get the shot without a second thought. Never had any training in years past!

Peg

I have really enjoyed your video tutorials very much, at first it was a little basic, but now as we have moved along I have learned quite a lot. I think I am in week 7 now, I don't always have time to watch, but I really like that I can log in at any time and view them when I can.
