The physicalities of taking a photograph are easily learnt, the artistic side takes a lot more longer

Billy Ocean Hull City Hall approx 1300 capacity hall

Auto Focus using AF button ISO 800 Aperture f/2.8
I have an F50mm f/1.4 in my bag & I have yet to use it, apart from testing it, my other gig lens is a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 which is my main lens as I mainly shoot small shows. Focus speed of the 50-135mm is the fastest in my kit, doesn't seem it due to the silence but I am almost certain it is, go get one, I don't regret it.

Lots of old & new buildings, lots of great opportunities for street photography with lots of great looking characters.
If using the tube train don't forget to get your ticket validated in the machine on the platform, we didn't & got arrested & escorted of the train along with a fine each
Have fun, we enjoyed it.
Never used it outside apart from walking from car to gig venue.
Holds 2 bodies with lenses attached inc 70-200mm 2.8 14" laptop & lots of lenses & accesories, also has waterproof pullover.

Advantages
Met a good group of people with many different interests
Learnt alot about history of photography
Got to play in a darkroom & process film
Got to play with Apple Macs urghh!!!!
Discovered a lot of artisitic photographers i had not heard of before
Got me a photography job I enjoy doing
Disadvantages
Mostly an art course, not a photography lesson as in this how to take a picture..
Physical lessons in photography where for just 2 lessons
No feedback on work, as according to the tutorthe class was about art which is a subjective sbject there is no right or wrong.
Lessons where mostly boring as majority was self study
