I loved taking this course and it’s already made a great improvement in my wide angle photography. Following Ian’s advice I have tried many new things and the results are nothing but phenomenal! I KNOW some people don’t believe me when I tell them that my picture is straight out of the camera, but I honestly don’t feel bad because my images are just great. I love wide angle photography now thanks to Mr. Plant. Good job, excellent course!
