I was very disappointed that this video is only 30 minutes long if that. Although it gave some very basic guidelines, it certainly didn't address much more than taking pictures under perfect conditions like a bright but clouded (no shadows) day. Gave a few tips but not many. Not worth the money. Only good thing about paying this much money for so little is the profits go to a non-profit organization.

Maybe I was expecting too much from this video, however, I found it to be basic in the extreme. I'm a novice and don't really understand the more subtle points of lighting and composition and this video did almost nothing to change that.
