Digital Photography Essentials
A short course for Real Estate Agents

This course is intended to lift your image quality to the next level, giving you a better understanding of exposure, vertical alignment, composition plus a few tricks used by eperienced professionals. Recommendations given on the ideal equipment setup within reasonable budget constraints. The accompanying eBook will serve as a reminder of the topics covered in the course.
Testimonial - Con Vayanos, LJ Hooker Nerang
I have been taking agency photos for a couple of years but I have gained some great info from this course. I was on the right track with my camera gear but David soon showed me the weak link in my set up...my tripod just wasn't sturdy enough for low light shooting. David has shown me what Lightroom can do for my post-processing so I've got straight into the free trial version to see what I can do with some real time images.
