I really enjoy Scott's classes. I always feel inspired to get out take photos and work with them. I got many tips and knowledge of when to use certain tools. Scott is excellent at conveying ideas and has such a willingness to share. His photos are amazing. I hope I can reach his level one day.
Afterwardss, I played with some of my landscape photos using his suggestions and tips.

It met the stated objectives. Got practical training and experience in this type of photography in an interesting area. It helped me to see bigger pattern elements than I was used to thinking or seeing.
