Excellent course. Tim Grey is the best teacher I have had on the way to learning photography. His examples are clear and reinforce what he teaches. In units 2, 3, and 4 there are plenty of skills to learn; I would easily spend an hour or more just practicing on my own photos what he showed me. It was fun and a great way to learn. Adobe Camera Raw is very powerful and Tim makes it rock !
