From a beginners perspective I really enjoyed this and will have to dip back in to really grasp some of the key points. Matt does a great job of keeping the interest and not 'waffling'. I'd love to know the gear and workings of the tutorial shoot. Looking forward to the next course...

Good tutorial to discuss slightly more advanced photo concepts and tips. Also includes a brief section on things to consider if you want to go pro.
