SLR Course
Description Page
If I could take the two day course again I nearly would, it was that good. Peter demystified every single function of the SLR from the get-go and embedded an understanding of each part with clear explanations and practical examples. Macro, telephoto, portraiture and other topics were all covered comprehensively. He has a calm manner and genuine love of his craft that is passed on throughout the course. The tutelage pace was perfect with not a minute wasted. I would highly recommended it for all camera enthusiasts.
