Reviews


Just want to convey to yourself how much I have enjoyed your 2 part course set at Attingham Park.
Your presentation was spot on and I came away with more than I ever thought I would learn from a basic course.
Although I have only had my D90 for a few months what I have gained from your course has taught me more than Nikons manual will ever teach me!
Looking forward to booking myself into your composition course.
Steve Hamilton


I must say that what you taught us in the 3 workshops that I have attended has proved invaluable to me and I have been implementing it frequently!
Mehida Jaffer


I just wanted to say thank you so much for the one 2 one course yesterday. I have been given renewed confidence in my ability to take photographs with a DLSR. It was obvious as soon as I arrived that I still had oodles to learn and you set me right as soon as we began!
I had a fantastic trip to Australia a real holiday of a lifetime and boy did I take photographs.......
It really made a difference and I felt much more confident when I was using the camera.
Tracey Lott


I recently came along to your DSLR part 1 course at Attingham Park and wanted to say thank you and that I enjoyed the course and got a lot out of it.
Dan Williams


I was at the course in Bewdley a few weeks ago and found it very enjoyable and feel like it has given me a good start with a DSLR.
Laura Mattison

 


I would just like to say how I enjoyed the course "Explore your DSLR" last Saturday at Packwood House. I feel much more confident in operating my D70s and can now practise what I was taught on that day. I will see you next year for the second part.

Thanks for today. I really enjoyed it. Have submitted a few images to the competition!


I have really been enjoying my photography since attending the DSLR Part 1 workshop, and look forward to learning a few more techniques on Part 2.


I will have completed the SLR courses part 1 and 2 by the time I attend the Birds of Prey day - but imagine I will still need quite a bit of support! I'm really excited about your workshop - I love birds of prey and once I can remember all that I have been shown with my Canon 450D I'm sure I will love that too.


I had a great day and learnt a lot, especially after switching to aperture mode, from manual. I have always shot manual from my first DSLR, and never considered anything else. I take a lot of photos in the industrial environment of the machines we produce. I have just taken some of a laser marking machine this morning (in Aperture mode) and it was much easier, as I could bang the ISO up to get the correct shutter speed.


I just wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed the course on Saturday. I have learnt heaps, and am now much more confident at having a bash at changing the various settings. I will definitely be booking the 2nd part of the course in the near future.


We had a great day and it was fantastic to be able to have a try with your camera.


I am emailing you on behalf of my Dad and I. We both really enjoyed your close-up and macro course and learned a huge amount. We hope to go on another course soon.


Thank you also for your advice on which course to book - it was a very useful chat this morning.


I feel a little sorry for my two colleagues their Btec course does not seem to have served them well. I think a few hours with yourself would probably serve them better than two years of courses!
