Hello there!
How are things in Kuwait?! I’m happy that you are submitting your assignments!
I’m also happy that you decided to take part in the course. I really enjoy helping people take better photographs.

You could start studying them when you are not shooting your own photographs!
I’m glad you’ve also chosen to start shooting with a DSLR.
One of my regrets is that I didn’t switch to a more professional camera earlier on in my photography career.
So you are on the right track.
I enjoyed reading your piece and I sincerely hope to help you improve your photography.
If there is one thing I can tell you now, it’s keep shooting! Always be shooting!
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!
