I have taken 6 online courses from http://www.betterphoto.com Some were great. Two were not so good. As someone said earlier, they are only as good as the teacher. One good thing about betterphoto, if you decide early that it is not working, they give you your money back. I have also taken a course at http://www.ppsop.net There I wanted to work on one specific thing, painting photos. The course was very small and I got lots of individual attention and I got what I was looking for. Online courses have worked best for me when I have a specific need and match that with the teacher. My first course at betterphoto was because I just got a new macro lens and wanted to REALLY know how to use it. The teacher was Brenda Tharp and she was great. Again, I got just what I was looking for. HTH, Rene PS: I have come galleries on the web with images from some of the online classes if you are interested, I can share the links. -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Earnest Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 12:29 AM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Online studies?
