Animal, people and landscape photography are covered, as well as planning and packing for a trip. Basic digital enhancements are also illustrated.


Exploring Digital Photography was recorded a few years ago, but the principles are still the same. This class is a live recording of one of my presentations. Since the recording, I have added lots of new material and photographs to my seminars.
