    This was an excellent class and very welcoming for true beginners. I walked into the class not even understanding the settings in my camera but left with the knowledge and confidence to adjust settings effectively for a desired effect. Mike is quite knowledgeable and also a great teacher, I will definitely be signing up for additional classes with him!

    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
