    Jalen was great- it happened to be a small class so we got lots of one on one attention. He really did a great job in helping and explaining each area, and asked if any questions along the way.

    I am based in Toledo Ohio. I often venture to Dayton on day trips, occasionally overnight as well. I'm basically a explorer who happens to understand Photography. So as I was exploring the Downtown area, I came upon this interesting composition. I was intrigued by the Historic look to it. With Sacred Heart Church in the background and what appears to be a very old Bank building with its majestic pillars, now vacant before it. It just felt as though I came around the corner and entered Europe. Th

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area.

He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t
