    Found the event to be extremely informative and useful. She gave me a great perspective on how to improve my composition which I believe will help me take better photos. She also encouraged me to shoot in manual rather than exclusively aperture priority to better learn the interaction of shutter speed, aperture and ISO which I think will be very beneficial to me.
