While the instructor was knowledgeable, the course was not engaging enough to keep my attention for long periods of time....I had to keep leaving it and coming back until eventually finishing it.

This course is very informative! The instructor is clear and concise. The bullet points presented at the start of the videos gave an accurate preview of the content to come. The photographs clearly demonstrated the instructor's points. Their quality and diversity was captivating. The instructor did initially appear somewhat nervous. I can easily empathize with that, but his lesson would improve a bit if he came across as more relaxed and friendly in the beginning video. Overall, these are fantastic lessons on nature photography.
