We were very pleased and impressed with this class and tour. Both my wife and I are fairly advanced amateur photographers but this class made some things even clearer. The class was well presented and kept on a level to be useful to anyone using a camera. It is directed to digital cameras as the title indicates. An excellent lunch,... More

We are so glad we took this photgraphy class. We have a point and shoot camera and forgot it and left it home. Jim came to Resort and told us about the class in a meeting where some of the local attractions come to promote their shows or attractions. I told Jim I would like to take the class but... More

I never thought it would be worth taking a class with my little point and shoot camera. I was WRONG! I learned so much within just the first 15 minutes while having a terrific time. Jim's teaching style is entertaining, memorable and fun! We were able to put our new skills to the test with a guided tour to some... More

This is Carl and my second time taking the class. Such a refreshing way to learn your way around your camera. We took the lunch and driving tour last time, it is great, don't miss it. This time we only took the class as we were short on time. We all use our cameras, why not take better photographs? In... More

If you are looking for an opportunity to use your digital camera like a pro, Jim will teach you amazing options and get you familiar to all those options on your camera you never knew you had! I've taken two classes from Jim including his tour through "Cades Cove". Jim gives you so much for your money! Even with the... More

If you are in the Pigeon Forge area and don't take the time to go along on one of Jim Eastin's "Taking Better Photo's" adventures, you have missed a golden opportunity. It would be my recommendation to do it early during your stay so that you can put to good use what you have learned. You will be rewarded with... More

It rained the day I went for my tour but Jim was great in allowing us to do the lesson and lunch half of the tour and come back on another day of our choice for the picture taking half of the tour! The first half was very informative!! Jim explains things so well with power point and 'sign language'... More

While staying at a resort in Tennessee, I attended Jim Eastin's digital photography class called 'Taking Better Photos'. It was a beginning level class offered to folks that own point n' shoot cameras. He offers a simplistic approach to understanding the symbols on your camera, what is aperture and how to actually create better photos. Students caught on to his... More

The best teachers bring joy to learning new things! Well, Jim Eastin takes that a step farther by making laugher a part of the process of remembering what he teaches. And he does teach you new things about your camera. I am a picture taker... now I am on my way to being a photographer! :D The historic information along... More
