TOP REVIEWS FROM CAMERA CONTROL
The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. The projects are instructional and test you to learn, try, etc. It made me think of new ways to capture images and inspired me to photograph every day!
The course gives us in depth insight to different functionalities of camera. Also peer review assignments makes us think and apply the learned knowledge.
Thank you MVPS'S KBTCOE & Coursera!
This has an really great course of this Specialization, one the best I've ever taken, online or 'real' (and I have taken a lot, two Masters Degrees and PhD studies). Peter and Mark are awesome!
This course really helped in camera controlling, depth of field learning, blurred, freezey moment capturing. I would recommend this course to newby photographers.
