Monika GajekNikon D7000
“I thought that the Intermediate course was very informative. I’m glad we could apply the theory to practical exercises. I think it is a great progressive class after the beginners course. Small groups work very well as there is more focus on the individual needs. Many thanks DSLR team!”
