Hi all - I am sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the pages so far...

Just wondering if any of you can recommend any online photography courses as being worth investing in? I want to get better and thought a set course would do much more for than just reading books, especially if there's a tutor involved. I don't mind if it starts from absolute basics (as I taught myself so am bound to have missed something obvious along the way), and ideally would help with everything right through to covering post-processing as well.

The problem is it looks like there are loads out there, and the only one I've actually contacted & looked into so far - the Photography Institute - appears that it might be a bit of a, er... well I don't want to risk getting NSC into trouble so let's just say I've been unimpressed with what I've found.

I might be completely wrong, but either way any feedback from those that have done a course would be great!

That's the boy. However, if you're interested in an older version at a very cheap price, please PM me. I've still got my old one which performs virtually as good, but no VR.

Zukey. Reflections and reduced saturation. Keep adding more skills to your repertoire. Keep posting your work here.
