Sounds like a dream class come true... well equipped, well motivated, well trained and obviously taught by a master!
I was instead seeing rows of students sitting in front of variably hued mac screens staring at thumbnails first to find the correctly exposed shots, then enlarging the remainder to find the few that were also in focus, and then fiddling for hours with the one or two remnants of their shoot that could be salvaged.
How lamentable... patently shoddy equipment and distressing training by an obviously disinterested and inept instructor! Were the poor students able to salvage any of their tuition fee?
