Be ready to travel again when the lockdown is behind us. In this very informative course, Jim shares with you his vast experience distilled from 50 years of traveling to 101 countries. You’ll learn how to deal with everything from weight restrictions on planes to arranging foreign models, and from being able to expose correctly in any situation to shooting the Milky Way and the aurora borealis. Jim’s teaching style is relaxed, entertaining, and you will be able to apply his insights, techniques, and vision to your own photography. He will give home assignments, and in the following session you will find his detailed critiques quite valuable. Each 2-hour session will be recorded, and you will receive a full length video of Jim's presentation to keep and use as reference whenever you like.
