Thanks B&H, Michael Melford delivers a fantastic seminar. He is witty, knowledgeable and he makes the viewers believe that they can be good photographers. I thoroughly enjoy his work and hope that I will be able to attend one of his field trips one day.

I've always considered a 10/1 ratio of likes/deslikes an excellent sign that I was looking at a good quality video. Now, 288/3, that´s a gem!

This presentation convinced me buy the 16-35mm for my landscape work. Thanks B&H for having this guy on here. He's an excellent presenter and salesman!
