I took this course on Saturday at the Merivale (Nepean) location - excellent course! The instructor (Tim Olett) really knew photography and had a lot of good tips to share. I also did toe DSLR101 at the Bank Street (Ottawa) location - this was the better of the two!

I was very impressed with the information and how things were covered. Almost felt like we could have stayed longer as there was so much for us to take in. Marty was a wealth of knowledge and it was wonderful to see that he loves what he does...and is very good at it. He made everyone feel very comfortable, no matter what level you were at. Looking forward to the next step!
Just completed this course last Friday. Bob (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and personable - he delivered a very informative course and did so with humour. Great information on histograms and bracketing. Will be booking more courses.
I picked up a D5100 a few weeks back and while very impressed with what the auto and mode functions gave me for results, that was not why I bought a DSLR. This 201 course, along with the 101 really helped to get over the hump of where to find everything I was looking for and vaguely remembered from 35mm SLR days of a couple decades ago. Now, thanks to the instructors at the Dartmouth Henrys, it is once again me taking the photo, not the camera. Both of the instructors I had were extremely knowledgable and very personable. The Henrys approach to teaching is both professional and persaonable. Not an easy thing to accomplish. It has impressed me enough that I have already taken one of the creative series classes and am signed up for four more!
Clear and easy to follow explanations coupled with hands on camera work made this class very informative and well worth the cost of registration. I wish I had taken it sooner!
Great return on investment. Very informative and easy to follow information delivered in a fun and comfortable pace. Christine used great examples and humour.
Many thanks to Ully at the May 20, 2011 session for helping to explain the additional features/programs on my D3100. It's great after more than 6 months of owning this camera, to treat it as more than a point-and-shoot! I echo those who said they'd wished they had taken the class sooner. I'm looking forward to practicing and learning more about this great camera - I'm already planning to buy the 50 mm F1.4 prime lens that was recommended for the portrait photos I like to take.
Let me start by saying I enjoyed this class. I found it really helped A LOT understanding aperture, shutter and ISO. The instructor was knowledgeable and personable. He was very approachable and answered questions well. There were some hands on exercises to practise. With that said I would have liked if it if we had gotten a chance to practise more with the instructor out in the real world and not in a white walled room! Despite this drawback, I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who is unsure of the afore mentioned concepts. It is definitely worth the money spent.
I'm torn between giving this class a 3 star or 4 star rating. I found Part 1 really helpful with valuable tips. Part 2 however, I felt didn't delve as deep as I would have expected. I felt that while part one gave me way more insight than the instruction manual, Part 2 still kept things very basic for a course labelled "intermediate". I would recommend this course to someone who finds themselves still unsure of some of the functions after Part 1 like manipulating the ISO or who has little or no understanding of aperture or shutter priority.
