    Thoroughly enjoyed this event, Felipe, the host is very informative and knows his work. I highly recommend this class and host for newbies like myself who are new to photography. I am so new, that this class is where I took my first photo with a camera I?ve owned for over 1 1/2 yrs. But too intimidated to use. I thank Felipe, for helping me overcome this fear. Well done young man. Regards Timothy Courtnage

    Great. It was challenging, informative and provided good "on location" experience. "1. taking a selfie without holding camera or using a tripod" was a good technique to attempt and master. "2. Pairing up and photographing your partner at an outdoor location while paying attention to settings and composition" - also a good challenge. "3. Approaching strangers and asking to take their portrait" - also a great experience to push one out of their comfort zone. I was happily surprised with how much I got out of this session, being a fairly advanced photographer. I give it 5 out of 5.

    When I was 9 years old, my mother found me playing with her Minolta SRT 101 and said, 201cThat is not a toy, that is a tool to create art and stop time. 201d She then showed me how to use it properly and by the time I was eleven I was developing photos in the darkroom.

    Myself and a friend would go out and shoot together and we that night we picked sunset at bayfront. There was a children's performer singing and mosquitos were feasting but the light was perfect so we stuck it out. I tried so many different edits and they all looked ok before I stumbled into this final edit and even now I'm not sure I couldn't go over it again and again. It's one of those images that I like but I always feel has more in it. We've been back to this location a few times hoping for

    Flamingoes are kept indoors during the winter months but on this occasion a shaft of sunlight from a window revealed the beautiful colours of these birds. Their heads are always bobbing up and down so composition is difficult and focusing on the eye of the main subject is essential.
