    Your lessons are excellently put together and presented in an easy to understand manner. Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to make these lessons available free of cost for so many aspiring photographers out there like myself. This in my opinion must rank as one of the best courses available on the web for teaching all that one needs to know about basic photography. Thank you so much.
    I do have one small suggestion however and i hope you dont mind me offering to help in the spelling of some english words. For example, the correct spelling is shutter and not shatter as written in your text.

      I totally don’t mind the help with spelling. 🙂 I still have some straggle with that. Also unfortunately sometimes I don’t have time to double check. Thanks for your help. If you see more mistakes, please let me know.

    When using a grey card to get a more accurate white balance in your picture, what setting should the white balance be in the camera? Thanks very much and keep up the good work. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi there,
    Your tutorials are absolutely fab. You’re very kind to share this valuable data!!! Thank you very much for allowing to have those insights.
    If you don’t mind, I’d be happy to ask you something re the metering.
    I was wondering why did you say to get closer to the subject while you can just spot meter your subject? Would it not be less hassle?

    Thank you in advance for responding,
    Roy
