    The course was supposed to teach how get out of automatic expose & learn to use your camera. Our very first task was to set the aperture. I asked Dana, (the instructor) to help me set the aperture on my camera, and he did not know how. His response was ? I am not familiar with Nikons?. That should have been stated in the course description. I asked for a refund & I left since there was no point in me being there. He said to contact Orble. Under the circumstances, I am asking for a full refund. Thank you Sherri Lachance

    People often wonder why I bring such a large lens to the Zoo. I used a Sony G lens with a focal length of 300-600mm for this shot. When I visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, my objective is to take pictures that don't feel like they were taken at the zoo. In this case, the close-up of the tiger does just that, and you are brought into his focus. You can feel the intensity of his stare!Never stop capturing the moments!
