Now I feel more comfortable with my camera and have a guide for settings! Tell a story a with the photos and present the subject to the viewer by following a few simple rules that's what the composition course gives you! -

Alina Oswald is an excellent,patient instructor.. The lesson was methodical and well-paced. She provided helpful printed material during the lesson and the next day emailed me extensive follow-up information relevant to the lesson. I recommend her highly! -

Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)
The teacher was quite good, considering that one of us students had an older camera and I have an odd one that is not easily tracked to the menus in others. I learned quite a bit about what the controls do, considering that I have never had a *real* camera before. And the Driehaus Museum was a splendid place to wander about in and take pictures afterward. I think more attention should be given to where to meet for this location, though, as there is no seating for a teaching session in the Driehaus Museum, and the "cafe" suggested as a meeting place is an actual restaurant that expects people to order food, and we had to hustle up another place to sit. I would definitely take another class with this instructor, but would perhaps look for one given in a better-planned venue. -

Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)
Rob Hale was attentive to our individual needs. His answers were very responsive to the questions raised. I especially appreciated how he worked through some of the quirky camera confusion that arose and stayed with the issue till we got true resolution. As example, who knew my 24-105 RF lens had a third ring allowing exposure compensation to be dialed in while partially depressing the shutter? A classmate with a very similar kit did not have that ring on her lens. The nuances! -

Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Houston Arboretum and Nature Center
Jim Caldwell was a terrific instructor. He gave me several easy to understand tips on using manual camera settings. I was disappointed however with the venue. Houston Arboretum offered NO opportunities to take pictures to try out my new found skills. It was full of nothing but dead fallen trees & weeds. No flowers. No color. Very little wildlife. Houston Botanic Garden is a much better manicured nature environment. -
Half Day Private Digital Photography for 1-6 People (New York)
Alina was thorough in her preparation and the materials that she provided to teach me how to use my Nikon D3300. She was patient and clear in her explanations, and always encouraging as we experimented with different techniques. And she pointed out composition issues with my photos that I didn't notice, raising my awareness of ways to isolate the subject and take better-looking pictures. I'm a beginner in digital photography, and feel much more comfortable talking about and taking photos after my session with Alina. -
