Beginning Photography masterclass.
I've purchased the "beginning photography" masterclass. Joel is clearly a successful photographer and he knows what he's doing, but so far into the course I find he just can't get the information across without interrupting himself and starting another train of thought. Also he was trying to explain the 18% gray concept, which he kept calling the 50% for some reason, and he was supposed to show a couple of cards and one he left in his other studio and the other one his son borrowed so he didn't have it. I don't see how you start recording videos without all the material you need to get your point across. Another thing is it would have been nice to see concept like aperture, ISO and shutter played live while he was talking. He's just sitting there trying to get his point across, and maybe a couple of images with the example of what he wanted to get across would have helped to visualize the concept and digest it better. I'm only a quarter of the way through and I will finish the course, but so far I don't think it's worth paying for it when there are so many other sources of information that will actually show you what they are talking about.
