Super Cool-Just the kick in pants I needed!!!!!!!!!
April 30, 2012
By: SimonSez42

Well done Henry's SOI and a special thanx to your instructor, Trevor in Ottawa. This course was precisely what I needed to tear myself away from the dreaded "auto" function. The course material was well thought out, very informative, layman based for a budding amateur and incentive driven to learn even more. The weekly assignments are key and really get you thinking about the image that you want to capture, not to mention applying just the right amount of theory to understanding the basic mechanics of DSLR camera, lens and optic fundamentals in the progression of producing a satisfying end result. After the first class, I found myself obsessed with learning all I could for the duration of the course; which by the way, hasn’t stopped, and I’m loving this “seeing everything as a picture” evolution. Interacting with the other participants is also refreshing, as the “I’m not the only newbie” feeling quickly dissipated and made sharing concepts and ideas exhilarating. Again, kudos to the SOI for making this a great experience, one that will require continuing with further courses. Ciao,
