My favorites where walking along and looking over Tony's shoulder while on a photography trip to Great Smoky Mts. Seeing how another photographer works is always valuable, but to see how hard and how fast Tony works every location for images was inspiring !

There are two facets he cover; 'in the field' and 'in the studio.' Set in the Great Smoky Mountains, Tony takes us to a number of scenic venues and explores possibilities from shooting fog, river streams, flowers, and much more. His style of fine art photography should be enjoyed by all photographers. Additionally, he shows the use of lens filters (provided by Singh-Ray) as well as some experiments with Lensbabies. <br /> <br />The 'in the studio' portion of the DVD, Tony takes us into his studio for some great macro shots with flowers, discusses his personal portfolio, post-editing workflow (with Photoshop), and the gear he uses (Nikon camera's and lenses). One great tip he talks about is how to break into the stock photography market and the importance of the Photographers Market Guide (well worth purchasing this book) as it contains hundreds of book publishers, etc. looking for photographs. <br /> <br />I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and look forward to purchasing some filters and practicing the techniques Tony discusses. Highly recommended for the beginner to advanced level enthusiast. Rating: 5 / 5 Very much enjoyed this workshop video presented by Tony.

He was shown rushing around doing his craft, but never gave the details of what it is about!! He used slang and professional jargon which left me totally lost. This was a waste of my money as an amateur. Rating: 2 / 5 This was a big disappointment for me as a beginner.

He discusses how he shoot his amazing pictures. In DVD 1 he discusses how he takes pictures in the field and in DVD 2 He discusses about his pictures in studio. Both of them is full of valuable informations. I recommand the DVD for those who likes Tony Sweet's pictures. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a very helpful DVD for Tony Sweet’s fans.

I am a beginner and was looking for some help. The video was pretty cool if you are looking for something that is similar to a nature show. He shows his work throughout this video while he is taking the photos. He picked some breathtaking photos. Alot of what he was doing just depended on what kind of picture he was looking to take. he takes some breathtaking photos and he is very creative. So the video shows some tips you can get off of him. However, I own a canon and he was using a Nikkon. It made me want to kick myself for getting a canon because I don't know if my canon DSLR can do what his Nikkon can.So the video doesn't necessarily teach you how to use a camera it just gives you some tips. This one was a two disc as well. so it is very long and drawn out. Rating: 4 / 5 I bought this video looking for some help on photography. I am a beginner and was looking for some help.
