PlusVery simple but deeply intense

In the course you receive very good advice and it calms you down so you can face that situation less stressed. Although it would have been great if he had talked about parameters or gone a little deeper into the objectives, lighting at night... I still highly recommend the course, Citlalli is very kind and the course is very good.
