About me and this Course
The first digital camera that ever came out was in 1991, the Dycam, which was a nice and simple camera that allowed me to take a picture whenever I wanted to, without worrying about film. Of course now, about 12 years later, the digital camera has revolutionized the way people now take pictures.
I have never been without a digital camera ever since, and hope it remains that way.
So I consider myself a true expert in the field of digital photography. I have taken courses as well, in the field.
