Customer Comments:
‘Thank you SO much for yesterday’s photography course on the Watercress Line in Hampshire.
It was a brilliant day, and I really appreciate all the preparation and planning that you had done ahead of the day. You had looked in-depth at the workings and settings for my specific camera, but you had also worked out a perfect itinerary for the day, based on the specific train timetable on the day.
As a novice photographer, with my new digital camera, I was very privileged indeed to learn from your 30 years as a photographer. Not only are you very knowlegeable as one would expect from a real expert, but you are also a very accomplished teacher too.
The fact that you were happy to travel to the Watercress Line, near where I live, made the day even better. I can now return to the track-side locations that you showed to me, in the future, to experiment and practice taking more photos.
I was amazed by your in-depth knowledge of the Watercress Line and the best locations for taking photographs by the way.
I learnt so much about how to use my camera properly, how to frame shots and understand the light, and what scenes make the best photos. It was an excellent kick-start that will now enable me to use my camera much more effectively in the future, that I could have achieved without your help.
I came with my list of questions, and you answered all of those and taught me a whole more in addition. It was a very enjoyable and fun day too.’
