Video with Marsel van Oosten available
The video recording from our webinar held with award winning nature photographer and Nikonian, Marsel van Oosten is now available for you to enjoy.
There was a strong interest in the webinar with many members having questions and we were not able to discuss them all. We are planning to have a second webinar with Marsel later in the year where he shows us even more of his excellent work, digging into more details on workflow and post-processing.
