Innovative Techniques for Outdoor Photography with George Lepp

This course is thrilling - love the techniques that Mr. Lepp teaches and am eagerly using some to expand my photographic skills... and this course will be an excellent resource for continued growth. I am inspired by and appreciative of his experience and enthusiasm - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. So glad I did not listen to the negative feedback.

I really enjoyed this class. I enjoyed seeing George Lepp teach a class as I have read the Lepps' column in OP for years. It is exactly what the title says it is. I can't afford some of the gear for these techniques now but it gives me ideas of what to strive for in the coming years. And It will be there when I try these techniques.

I didn't feel like this class was worth the money. There was very little actual teaching and many of the techniques discussed were dependent upon having expensive gear. Mr. Lepp has an impressive body of work which he enthusiastically showcases in his class, and although I could appreciate his photography I found precious little information that will benefit my own photography.

The course provided a lot of useful information, particularly for panoramas and macro. Some very innovative techniques for panos especially. To the folks who were critical about George's talking about a lot of expensive equipment, he also goes into how to use less expensive equipment, but he's a professional doing some very specialized types of photography that wouldn't be possible with basic gear. Personally, I wouldn't spend the money to buy that specialized equipment but it didn't diminish the quality of the course.

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I think George Lepp is James Bonds' Q in the photographic world. I found his class very inspiring and I have learnt many new techniques and gadgets to take my photography experience upward and forward. Highly recommended!!

I enjoyed watching George Lepp's class. During the class, I discovered a whole bunch of new techniques and new ways to take photos. I also discovered new equipment and computer programs that I didn't even know existed and could be very useful for various types of photography, I have since tried some of the techniques and programs and love the results. On the negative side, a lot of the equipment shown is not really affordable for the average photographer. Perhaps this can be viewed as a positive in that knowing the usefulness of this equipment may one day, perhaps, make us decide to purchase some of it. I do not regret purchasing this class!

George really prepared a lot of information for his class. It is true, he does have a lot of expensive equipment and we may not be able to do some of the things he does with a smaller budget, but it is good incentive for us to plan for the future. He seemed to share new information constantly and stay focused and I was able to take a lot of notes. He talked about many kinds of equipment as well as software and websites he uses. I am pretty impressed that he is so up to date with recent technology. He especially loves macro/micro and stacking hundreds of images for minute focus on really large enlargements (for example, over 600 photos for one butterfly wing). That can get boring if you are not interested in doing that. I can take those tips and apply them to landscape photography though. I think it is more helpful for someone already doing outdoor photography and looking for new inspiration or new techniques as opposed to someone new to photography in general.

Dieser Kurs hat mich voll aus den Socken gehauen. Ein Fotograf blickt auf über fünfzig Jahre Erfahrung zurück und lässt uns dabei teilhaben. Auch eine Menge Technik und Material wird dabei vorgestellt. Ich bin echt überwältigt! Dieser Kurs ist jeden Dollar wert.

Out of all of the classes I own, this is my favorite. I have watched this class many times and pick-up useful information every time. He gives practical and useful information in every segment of his class. He shares his techniques for great outdoor photography photos. He knows his stuff and is a fantastic teacher. I'm looking forward to any new classes by Mr Lepp.

I watched the entire class, and found it to be a very negative experience - in contrast to all of my other experiences with Creative Live, which had been very good. The problem with this class was the instructor. Mr. Lepp, rather than giving us practical, useful information, and techniques for approaching the subject of Outdoor Photography, instead used his time to show off his seemingly endless array of incredibly expensive and cutting edge gadgetry. For the first half hour or so, Mr. Lepp seemed pleasant and interesting, but it quickly became apparent that this class was NOT about anything relating to the art of outdoor photography. Instead, it was basically a seminar highlighting exotic equipment for the 1%. I have well over $25,000 of photographic equipment, but the arena in which Mr. Lepp plays begins somewhere around the $100,000 mark, and then requires a staggering ongoing budget for chartering helicopters, hiring guides, and constant upgrades to remain on the bleeding edge of gadgetry and accessories. From his gyroscopic mounts to his 40" printer, Mr. Lepp has it ALL and continues to spend, spend, spend. I admire his deep pockets, but I would have appreciated some real insight and technique and useful knowledge on actually getting great shots. (And I must say... Mr. Lepp's work... did not impress me to the degree that other teachers on CreativeLive have.) I believe those giving positive reviews here were more or less wowed by the sheer magnitude of his extensive, well-funded travels and his off-handed way of revealing the endless contraptions and combinations of gear he uses. The passion here is clearly about the gadgetry, and NOT about finding an original and creative voice in the arena of outdoor photography.

Amazing class! I particularly loved the macro and how to correctly take panoramic photos sections. George was not only a great teacher but he was super funny too. Would be happy to take any of his future classes.

BUY IT: YOU WILL LIKE IT. HOURS OF LEARNING . All is covered from HDR through Focus Stacking as well as some philosophy of how to behave in the field. I should also mention EXTENSIVE lessons in using the DSLR as a movie camera .

First Art Wolf and now George Lepp !!! WOW Thank you

It is easy to see that George has not lost his enthusiasm for photography. He is as entertaining and fascinating as a youngster. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the latest developments in digital photography, and demonstrates how to produce videos and stills that take your breath away. He is a great teacher.
