I have never given this course away for free so my student numbers are not deceptively inflated as you may see on other udemy courses.

  • To be able to get out of auto mode and control the camera yourself.

  • To be able to compose an artistic image and not just take snapshots.

To many pdf files not enough video and certainly to many commericals. Udmeny should put a stop to the commericals or limit them to the last video. And limit the intros to the videos to 10 secounds.

Gary, I guess that you think that I'm gonna watch the videos till the end, commericals and all, well your wrong on many accounts there is only 5 hours and 4 secs of video.

I find the course a good mix of video and text presentation. It is easy to follow and though I knew some of the info already it is good to re-inforce knowledge.

I have, at this point, completed 99% of Gary's course, and have found it very informative and enjoyable. Now, I have to get busy and post those assignments to FB, that I've been slacking on!

I enjoyed taking this online course and learned a lot. I finally understand the workings of my camera. The instructor, Gary Detonnancourt, was very clear with lessons, and was there to answer any of your personal questions when needed. I really liked when he critiqued various student's pictures. I seemed to get quite a bit out of those lessons. I still have to practice and keep using all the techniques he suggested, but overall, I am very pleased that I took this course. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about their camera and how the different functions work.

I love this class. Gary Detonnancourt, the instructor, promptly responds to questions usually within hours or even minutes of first posting the question. His answers are always clear, easy to understand, and supported with either his own personal experience or the experiences of other renown photographers. In addition, Gary provides objective constructive critiques to our images to take our pictures to the next level. Thank you Gary for your professionalism and expertise!
