    This course was more a course on how to frame a photo as opposed to 201clandscape 201d photography - the instructor had a very good handle of the material - it might have been helpful to get the hand out material in an email prior to the class to have a better handle on what was going to be covered - that being said the extreme cold made it difficult to stand still for any instruction time, so with more comfortable temperatures this would not have been an issue. All in all it was a good event - I'd go to more events
