REVIEWS

I have just attended a getting to know your SLR part 1 and 2 at Tredegar House this month with Allan Frost.  Both of my days were brilliant and Allan was very good, patient and helpful and perfect at explaining things....   Ceri Roche

I just wanted to write and thank all the tutors who ran the Explore Your DSLR/Compact System Camera Part 2 at Hardwick Hall. It was a really enjoyable informative day.  After completing the exercises for blurring and freezing motion using spinning umbrellas, I was inspired to go and photograph moving water at Padley Gorge. This was something I wanted to try out for a while, but didn't have the knowledge to get the results I wanted. I am sending two photos, one with an exposure time of 2 seconds, and one with an exposure time of 1/400th second.  I look forward to doing other courses in the future.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed yesterday. It was indeed a full day and so much information to take in but well and truly worth it.

Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic course yesterday. It was really informative and I got a lot out of it. Will look to do another one in the future - probably the landscape one.
