Not really worth taking this class. The video production quality has horrible sound issues and there are a lot of bots that make the exercises a pain. I went through the entire specialization, finished the Capstone, and these issues only get worse the further you go. I'm sure there are other photography classes through Coursera that offer the same information in a much more organized way. Gave it 2 stars because there was some good info in here, but a lot of it is probably available through Google.

I have to say, I am disappointed in that I feel there is little to no interaction here between students and instructors/aides. Additionally, the assignments are not functioning properly and it creates much confusion. The instructors videos are great and have been helpful but the rest is lacking! There is no way to view other's bodies of work and critiques are very vague, etc. This is photography... where is the photography from learners (other than the assignments)? Why is there no gallery here?

This course has not been updated in years and it shows. I took this course in the beginning of 2021 and they're citing iPhone6s's as the newest tech and mentioned that bluetooth was just now becoming available in certain cameras. The basic information about how cameras work is still relevant, but that's about it. I would recommend finding a more up-to-date course.

advertised as good for cameras from smartphone to DSLR but the smart phones they incorporate into the lesson were released almost a decade ago. the iphone 6 and the galaxy 6... really? Please update this course.

Muy básico, poca enseñanza en temas de iluminación, apertura y velocidad que es lo que se espera en un curso de foto. Las tareas no te dejan gran aprendizaje.

The course was fine but the certificate doesnt help me there are no hours on the the certificate

I wish I could at least read the assignments if not get reviews on them in the audited version.

i thought its for smartphone as well. you should specify.

Very light weight. Technicalities are not covered enough.

It was to much off topic discussion for me

This course is unmonitored and extremely outdated. There is rarely any real participation because no one checks. It's easy to cheat and 75% of what I see is just that - cheating. It's unfortunate, because some information is timeless (composition will always be composition), but it's so outweighed by the three weeks spent learning an app which no longer exists. It's a real shame. Six years ago this was probably fantastic, but now? Barely worth the effort for the most part.

This course spends far too much time expounding on how wonderful the professors are. I took this course to learn about photography, not to learn about the professors. Honestly, I don't care who you are, as long as you teach me in an engaging way, but I could never get to that point because they wouldn't stop talking about themselves.

On the extreme side of basic. The course information makes it seem like you are going to learn more about the camera and settings vs just getting some terms and a hodge podge of videos. If you are serious about advancing your skills, I would not recommend this course.

Very old and low level course. Never ever recommended.

Outdated material, several technical issues.

idiotic submission issues
