Here in Amarillo we have a really cool store that has been around for over 70 years. They teach classes and cover a broad range of topics. They also teach you based on your model of camera for the various types and styles. Cost is about 50 bucks.

Good luck and let me know if you find something you like.; ▶ Reply to This

I would suggest you get some student feedback before you jump into classes that might bore you or something of that nature.; ▶ Reply to This
