I trained on film cameras and had not understood that the approach with digital cameras is different in some ways - the tutors gave me very helpful answers to my questions and I learned a lot. The content of session was again very helpful to me, for example how best to use a wide angle or telephoto lens. I particularly appreciated the advice about using filters, correcting white balance, graduated filters, ideal f-stop range, composition for different situations and loads of other tips.

Interesting and informative as every Nikon school online course! Neil shared multiple shots taken in Iceland with related technical details, plus some tip and tricks! It was particularly interesting to see the ice cave pictures with amazing ice textures!

Neil Freeman created a safe online learning environment. Participants had opportunities to ask questions and make comments and Neil was responsive to the group. Joining was easy. I hadn’t known what to expect but the content was very clear and easy to follow. It was useful too! I wrote a few notes along the way. The shared photographs with exif data and Neil’s commentary were useful illustrations of his advice in practice. I learned a lot and look forward to putting it into practice.

I had not previously undertaken any of these courses but was not disappointed. Really great introduction to Lightroom. Neil explained all of the steps in a very logical sequence and was brilliant at fielding questions at the appropriate times. Focussed on the key elements and controls, did not waste too much time on the controls that would not be required at Introduction level. I came away feeling much more knowledgeable. It reinforced the knowledge I already had and offered some great info.

I've previously been on a landscape with Nikon school so I thought this session would build on that. I thought a zoom session might be useful under the current circumstances. I wasn't disappointed.
REVIEWER: Christopher A.
Despite the restrictions of Zoom Neil was able to take us through the mechanics of shooting waterfalls, including preparation, lenses, settings and filters. At the end Neil also talked through some advice on post processing. The advice was useful not just for waterfalls but also for other scenarios found in landscape photography. Just looking at the various photos used in the presentation gave inspiration on trying to achieve something similar. Well worth doing.
REVIEWER: Anthony B.
The course was an in-depth ‘how to do’ waterfall photography and was presented with lots of practical and very useful tips, plus lots of image examples.
All questions were answered and the time just flew by. Very good introduction to the topic - highly recommended.
REVIEWER: Andrew B.
There was a lot of very good information and tips. It was very helpful that he explained what kit was needed and the importance of planning ahead.However I felt that Neil assumed that I had more knowledge than I actually had in terms of ND filters, grad filters and also length of exposure. I now know about 3, 6 and 10-stop filters and how they affect the photo. Having shown us a lot of photos I now have an idea of what lenses to use and how to set up the camera.

I visited Iceland earlier in the year,before Covid hit. Although I managed to get some great shots for my portfolio, I wish I had chosen a tour with Mark(www.markandreasjones.com).Mark has a vast amount of knowledge of the local area and over the years, has built up a network of local people to help you experience Iceland at its best. The course explained the best places to go, Mark & Neil’s person experiences and hints and tips. I think we were all amazed at the images and I now want to go back
REVIEWER: Carl J.
The Virtual Landscape Tour of Iceland with Neil and Mark was both visually stunning and educational.
The technical notes, comments and guidance through the tour where very informative and helpful.
