What a great session of exploring the camera and its functions. Guy was knowledgeable and patient with the members of the group and gave plenty of opportunities to practise what we had learned. The pace of the session was right for the group. The 4 hours went by way too quickly! Thanks Guy.

Highly experienced teacher! I learned a good foundation before starting to shoot. The teacher was really great at explaining the different concepts, and showing us how to use our camera with real simple but effective examples. I would highly recommend the course to anyone that wants to learn how to use their camera to take great photos on manual mode! I was a complete newbie - I only got my camera for my birthday a month before the workshop! And I feel confident to take photos on manual mode and set the right composition.

This workshop was perfect for where I'm at in my photography journey, which is pretty much the beginning. I was nervous that it might be a little advanced considering I didn't even know what the manual settings on my camera were let alone what they did. The workshop was structured in a way where you learnt and practiced one element at a time allowing the learning to come to life literally right in front of you. It was perfect for me. Thanks Penny for an insightful learning experience, I definitely feel far more confident and excited about photography!
