    Great class! I knew nothing about my DSL other than point and click. The teacher was great and made it easy to learn. I would definitely recommend this class to anybody who wants to learn how to manually take pictures!

    This was my first experience with Dabble and it did not disappoint. Al Berto did a wonderful job explaining the functions of the DSLR camera and helped us feel more comfortable switching from 'auto' to 'manual.' He was able to deliver a lot of information in a condensed amount of time and then allowed us to fiddle and experiment with our cameras with his guidance. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that has a new DSRL camera or who, like me, needed a little refresher on the basics.

    This class was exactly what I signed up for. I learned a TON and it was just the right amount of information. The information received was just enough to take with me and apply for future shots. I can't wait to apply my knew knowledge and impress all my friends with my new skillz.

    Very basic and extremely useful introduction to shutter, aperture and ISO functions. I took the class on Thursday and went to ice caves on Saturday . Thanks to this class I was able to take pictures inside the caves and of the ice/snow formations.

    Excellent class! This might be the best $30 I've spent.

    The first 50 minutes or so will confuse the hell out of you, but once you start doing the 'hands on' practice it all comes together and makes sense. I now tell my camera what to do, instead of the camera telling me.

    Death to Auto-mode!

    This class was wonderful. Alberto was a great teacher and was very effective at imparting A LOT Of information in such a small time frame. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to understand the basics of how their SLR camera works.

    I walked in not knowing anything about how my camera worked and left feeling super empowered. I can't wait to get out and start taking pictures with my new found knowledge. Thanks Alberto!
