  • Informative

    I stumbled across this podcast a few months ago and am thoroughly impressed with Courts knowledge and experience. The format is enjoyable because sometimes he has guests on and sometimes he is on his own. Information is relevant to all levels of photographers.

  • Really helpful

    The podcast is geared to relatively less experienced photographers in the sense that Court starts with a review and explaining the basic things then moves on. He is a great “teacher” and the podcasts flow very well. I am relatively new to photography and find his series extremely informative and helpful.
