“How did this course make you a better photographer?”
The course has helped me in a lot of ways. I needed help understanding the controls on my camera better. The instructions and the assignments helped make things a lot more clear to me. I tried photographing some new things that I didn't know how to do before. I enjoyed photographing at night so much that I've even been inspired to trying astrophotography! Thanks so much!

Had a ball! Enjoyed the discipline of the assignments. Relished being pushed out of my comfort zone. And I liked the freedom of being able to revisit lessons (particularly those on using Lightroom and Photoshop). It's been interesting seeing other people's efforts as well.

Simple yet comprehensive instructional videos combined with sharing and learning groups made the course easy and enjoyable. I now have the knowledge and confidence to take my photography further.

My photography has become more vibrant. I am especially thrilled with my ability to compose landscape photographs and to edit so the clouds pop right out and add interest to the photograph. I enjoyed Mr. Hamels' teaching style- he is easygoing and understands that not everyone is technically proficient nor wants to be a professional photographer.

Being a visual learner I found Jim Hamel's 31 Days to Becoming a Better Photographer perfect for me. I had previously bought a course to go through with someone else but lost interest very quickly; I don't have the attention span to read huge text books or lessons. Jim's course is learning through watching short videos then practicing. When there is reading to be done, the format is so easy to follow. While going through the course Jim is happy to answer
questions and help in any way ... which is another plus for me. This course is easy to follow and my photography has lifted dramatically as a result. Thank you DPS and Jim.

I have taken any number of photography courses over the years, and most are pretty good. But THIS course, in a word, is simply outstanding! Jim Hamel has a very pleasant and straightforward way of discussing photography concepts and their application to taking and editing pictures; it's both informative and entertaining. The first half of the course focuses on understanding and using features of your camera that many (myself included) "sorta" understand or don't
understand at all. The second half is the application of these tools and techniques - including several sections on photo editing - to produce excellent pictures. I cannot recommend this course highly enough!
