Every single case study was excellent

Great course! I am loving the narrower scope but more in-depth approach and both the “in the field” workflow and “the photo I didn’t take” explanations. Every single case study was excellent. (Behind the Lens

There is nothing more remarkable to me than the power of nature. It is both cataclysmic and subtle.
