Technical Problem, March 28, 2006
Reviewer: Barry M. West "Mike West"
The DVD is excellent, as far as I got to see it. Unfortunately, about two
thirds of the way through the picture or my DVD player went nuts and I
never got to see the last part. I tried several times. Perhaps I am having
a DVD player problem but it plays others without a problem.

Digital Photography Unleashed: Very Good , March 8, 2006
Reviewer: D. Leeper
This is an excellent introduction to photography (Film or Digital). It was
a little basic for me but on the other hand it was good to do the review
of basics. I gained alot from the instructions on techniques. I recommend
it for anyone except the very advanced photographer.
