I recently finished Oh Shoot (standard class). I was originally hesitant to spend money on a photography class but have to now say that it was worth
every penny! I'd tried before to learn from books but could never quite break away from using auto. Now I use manual 99% of the time. Even though I'm
on a big learning curve I feel it's something I can do and improve on over the years. I still occasionally forget to check my ISO and exposure but I'm
sure that will become second nature to me over time. rnrnThis class is extremely well thought out and put together. The weekly sequence is presented
so you understand one thing at a time and build on what you learn. Even though some weeks have been really busy I can still go back over the material
and videos later and catch up. I know I'll refer back to these after class has ended as I've found that reading over the material, watching the videos
and listening to the MP3's more than once is helpful. It helps me cement in the information as there is a lot of it presented over the weeks.rnrnI
highly recommend this class to anyone who wants more out of their DSLR camera. You'll also become a better photographer in the process.rnrnThank you
so much Candace and to Kimber and Nancy, class mentors, for all your advice and help along the way. I'm very grateful!

I learned so much from Oh Shoot! It was amazing. Candice's lessons, videos and feedback were invaluable. I feel so much more comfortable with my
camera and my skills. I can't believe the difference in my photographs.
