Has anyone taken a class from fstoppers? If so, was it worth the cost? Would you recommend any other on-line photography courses?

I once tried to contact Fstoppers and never heard back from them. I view their videos in Youtube, nothing more. I don't appreciate their non-communicative style.

Phil Steele recently made a good point. When you take a class or read a book the most important thing is to go out and shoot trying the things you read/heard about. The experience applying an idea is the catalyst for learning.
So it doesn’t really matter who is teaching, if you take the ideas and apply them you will learn.

Yes, I agree, my experience with the "Exposure Triangle", it seems confusing when reading information, but as I applied the knowledge to my Nikon DSLR, it became much easier to comprehend and use quite easily in my Photography. I also have used Aperture Priority quite a lot. I want to master "Slow Shutter-Speed" Photography, with ND filters, applied to Landscape Photography.

Pat,
"Would you recommend any other on-line photography courses?"
What subject do you want?
Linda.com has courses on everything including photography and videography. The first month is free. You can then pay for a subscription to it, but most public libraries provide it with your library card.
Linda.com is also know as LinkedIn Learning which is owned by Microsoft.

I have free access through my library and have enjoyed several courses. I like their short chapters which make it easy to go back and view again + there is accompanying text you can copy/paste to a doc and print out for reference.

You are right. My excuse is that I had a high school girlfriend that spelled it Linda.
But, it's really neither anymore.... "LinkedIn Learning is the next generation of Lynda.com.

"What the heck?"
A couple years ago, Lynda and her husband "what's his name" sold the company for a billion. Really! LinkedIn was the buyer. Shortly thereafter, Microsoft bought LinkedIn. So, Lynda.com, or whatever it is called, is really a Microsoft company.
