This course has taught me to take my time before hitting the button. I visit some exotic places and some of my pictures are so amateurish and therefore spoilt because I did not take my time; I may never pass that way again.

DOF

I have been using a DSLR for sometime now. However, some of my bird shots were not as sharp as I would have liked I now have a better understanding of DOF thanks to this course. I can hardly wait to shoot some birds again.
