Excellent Day. I learnt more in 6 hours than in the last 3 months about how to use the flash and settings on my camera. I’m sure this new knowledge will enhance my photographs a great deal. Kev
Glen covered everything I needed to know about setting up a studio at home and how to take portraits with confidence. Thank you.
