Reviews :
Informative online course on wide angle lens photography. Clear explanations, practical tips, inspiring examples, and fun lesson assignments. Enhanced my skills and broadened my perspective. Highly recommended!
Transformed my perspective! Wide-angle wizardry unlocked through information-packed lessons and hands-on assignments. Very flexible. Could do the course in my own time. Most certainly recommend for photographers at any level.
First time really working exclusively with wide lenses and it's opened a whole new vision for me. David is a fantastic teacher, instructor, mentor, who inspired and encouraged me to go beyond what I knew of photography before taking this course. Content-rich and fun lessons, assignments, Q&A, and all the personal attention were fantastic. Highly recommended to those who haven't tried including the creativity of a wider perspective in their photos.
Been trying to use my wide-angle zoom more and more, but thought these focal lengths were just for shooting in tight spaces. I was totally wrong ! This is a whole other genre, one that simply lends itself to greater expression with the camera. A well designed course - "go out and do 'em" assignments with each lesson and all. Really enjoyed and benefitted from the time working with David here.
Super course from start to finish ! Well worth the money !
Creativity pure ! This course has brought me to reaching for my 24mm as my "Go To" lens of choice. The lessons were rich with content and inspiration, and their practical assignments were challenging, but fun. David was always there when I had questions, and often went far beyond as a "mentor" throughout the course. I'll definitely take another course with him.
Great course with valuable content and hands-on assignments. I learned just what I was looking for from David Bathgate. Recommended highly for anyone want to put their wide-angle perspectives to more creative use.
