Regarding class. I tried the Langara one. It is not bad at all.
After playing with power pack and light modifiers. You will have basic understanding of light and how to control/use it. It is way more empowering than a new camera. Even you may not be interested in flash photography, but understanding light is the most important thing on the technical side of photography.
Just pass Sat. I went to a restaurant, a waiter chat with me about cameras. He asked how to use a flash, so the foreground and the background are both bright. I explained to him shutter speed controls ambient and aperture control the flash. I demo it with my canon, but found out he uses P mode at all He told me he is thinking to buy 1ds. I suggest him to take a class or google on how to expose properly.
So my money will be spending on taking a class first. |
