Reviews

Thanks for the link for the FB photos. I really enjoyed yesterday and did learn a heck of a lot about lighting and technique and using macro photography for other things as well as flowers.  Heather Iveson

Thank you for a very enjoyable and motivating day last Saturday.  I  came home full of enthusiasm ready to put into practice the knowledge gained.  Your delivery and presentation was excellent, easy to understand and follow.  The opportunity of seeing all our photographs on screen and going through the strong and weak points of each was very helpful. I bought my camera as a means to an end for before and after photograph- work related.  After Saturday I can envisage a fulfilling and time consuming hobby ahead. I will definitely be booking on future courses.  Sheila Godfrey

Hello Jean, Firstly thank you for such an enjoyable course the other day at Erddig.  I have been wanting to learn about macro photography for years. So it was a very interesting day. You have a lot of patience for even the most stupid question, so it was lovely to feel able to ask the questions that I wouldn't have done normally - regards Myfanwy Jones
