Buen curso para iniciarse en el manejo de los flashes. Antonio Garci tiene muy buenas aptitudes docentes y mucha experiencia y te da un punto de partida para continuar después aprendiendo y practicando el uso de la iluminación artificial. Además, nos muestra su flujo de trabajo y las herramientas que usa para el revelado y el retoque en el ordenador. Un curso muy ameno y fácil de seguir. Recomendable.
