  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    I thought that it was an excellent event. Jon is a great teacher. He?s very knowledgeable and, more importantly, very personable. He encouraged us all to experiment with our cameras and offered great feedback. I?m looking forward to the next class I?ve booked which is ?Street Photography?.

    My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves very much. Jonathon was very informative and was more than willing to help or show us anything we needed to know. He was eager to be in gaged with everyone. I also appreciated the email he sent out with a bit of information on shutter speed etc?Well done Jonathon, I look forward to taking another course from you in the future.

    My daughter and I drove 2 hours & enjoyed it very much but when we signed up the attorney stated 3 hours not 2. As a beginner I learned a lot in the first half hour. Our instructor was very pleasant and was willing to show me anything I needed to know and answered all my questions. I feel $109 each that we paid was a bit much just for 2 hours especially when we came from so far away.

    I like these events; they are getting more relaxed as we get to know each other and that we can share our own experiences. As always, Ramona, great job.

    What I enjoy about these events (this is my 3rd one) is the challenges. Ramona does a good job of developing the challenges and they force you to look at things in a different way. If you practice this, in the long run it will make you a better photographer.

    My best travel companion and I embarked on an unforgettable journey across Southeast Asia, and stayed in a different city each day. We arrived in KL and explored it for hours by foot. We were captivated by all the skyscrapers, especially this one.You have to see it for yourself at night. You can?t help to stop and just be in awe. This photo reminds me of the look on our faces while we giggled like kids, trying to figure out how fit in the towers

I set myself a personal challenge to take and post one photo every day. I h
