Photography course with Robert A. Reeder — Final Report :)

Well, the course is over. I am pleased, the rest are more than happy. Basic composition, depth of field, light, portrait and flash use was learned. But most important - these were exercised and guided by a proffessional photographer.
After the second day the group was divided in two. The point-and-shoot losers came on Friday and the DSLR super-heroes on Saturday. Both groups had the opportunity to adress technical issues linked to their personal camera.

On Sunday we were together again, trying different type of flash use for portraiture and discussing our pictures. Here is were Robert Reeder's experience turned into biggest value adding machine for us.
At the end of this post I will place most links that Robert gave us. All were useful for me. And then we received a bonus. I'll write later about it. When it materializes.
