Loved the class. Very informal and Dean answered all of our questions. The class ran a bit over the 4 hours listed and I had to leave after 4,5 hours, but 99% of my questions were answered and Dean did provide a link to the slide presentation after I emailed him. I would highly recommend the class. I plan to take an advanced class soon.

Overall very well done. Seats were a little hard for 4 hours, though.

It was a fun class! Dean ran the class and he was really great. I’d like to go back at some point for a similar class or even the same one.

We did some shooting, then reviewing, then shooting some more.  This method was far better than the traditional one where you don't see anything till the pics are delivered and the bill is paid.  This is taking best advantage of the digital medium.

I have so much more knowledge of how to use my camera now that Mr. Farrell has taken the time to explain how everything works.  I used my expensive camera as a point and shoot because I didn't know any better.  I now know how the various mechanisms work with each other and am looking forward to using my new knowledge for much better pictures.

Dean presented a very well organized, logical workshop providing excellent information on how the digital SLR camera works and he gave several valuable tips on how to compose photos to make them more interesting.  He also pointed out some common mistakes that novice photographers tend to make.

Dean's comments were aided by a well designed slide presentation the provided examples of the various topics discussed during the workshop, as well as an outline of the overall presentation.  The slide presentation was very professional and logical and was an excellent adjunct to Dean's verbal presentation.

My wife and I took an Introduction to DSLR Photography seminar through Orcatek Photography.  The seminar was conducted by Dean Farrell.  The presentation was extremely interesting, Mr. Farrall was able be both entertaining and informative and was able to present the material in an easy to understand format.  We had just recently purchased a Canon Ti2 DSLR camera with all the bells and whistles.  Unfortunately, we understood little what the bells and whistles were for.  Mr. Farrell went through each setting, describing what it was for and how and when to use them.  That short, afternoon seminar back in November has led to some of the best photographs I have ever took.  I now understand proper composition, the rule of thirds, lighting theory, etc.  Thanks Dean, I am planning on taking your Photoshop seminar in the very near future!
