heh.. i'm interested.. but only sat lesson? sat a bit hard leh.. need to go :cheers: :cheer: :clap2:

any plans to have any weekday class after this? 1 suggestion though.. maybe can consider teaching based on multiple flash setup instead of studio lights? 'Cos I'm guessing most of us won't have easy access to studio lighting on our own time.. Most of the new flash like SB800 and 580EX can be a flash commander, and in a class we can "share" the use of the flashlights..

'Cos most of us, don't have access to studio lights, so when necessary to do such shoots, we would use multiple flashlights actually..

Hello, Long time no see! How are you! I will suggest to him and get him to contact you when he back from China on next week. The class is on Sat afternoon and not evening la! The reason we can't have a weekday class is because he is a full time photographer and some time he need to stay back for work and Sunday we will have Basic and Pre-wedding course in studio. So I think Sat afternoon is better and also if the instructor want to have any extra time with the class also got not much problem!
