Quickly revisited some of the part 1 course and reaffirmed best practises when it comes to working with ISO, aperture and shutter speeds. Not as many opportunities for practical exercises this time, but lots of room for discussions and helpful Q&A sessions with Neil and the rest of the group. Really enjoyed learning about image composition and finding out what camera settings, lenses & equipment are best for specific photography interests e.g. portrait, wildlife, landscape photography etc.

This was an excellent extension of Day 1 of the Getting Started with DSLR course. There was a little bit of going over the basics we learnt on Day 1 but went into more detail on how to visualise and construct a good photo, rather than what the different functions of the camera can do.
Looking at three styles of photography (portraiture, landscape and action) and going into detail of how to get a good shot, what modes/tricks to use was also very helpful.

I joined the day not quite knowing what to expect. I was concerned that with lack of flash experience I would struggle. But i need not have worried as Ricci explained the principals we were going to use throughout the day so clearly even I could grasp the concepts. By lunch time all the group seemed to have got the basics and were immersed in the experience. The course was well structured and everyone got plenty of time to experiment.Now looking forward to part two.

This was my first experience of Noir and, let’s be honest, the first time I had really thought about the control that flash photography can give you. Ricci started fast and I thought I may fail to keep up - but the systematic approach he drilled into us worked well. We got to experiment and also see how he as a pro prepares a scene. The outcomes in terms of images at this introductory level were beyond those that I thought possible from a one day course. Highly recommend this course
REVIEWER: Keith C.
Excellent course with great points. Lots to remember but practise makes perfect. Ricci is very knowledgeable but makes it simple.
REVIEWER: Clive J.
Brilliantly organised course. Neil and Ricci were always available to offer advice on all aspects of photography ranging from technical appertaining to the camera, exposure control and composition, the latter being the most challenging.
REVIEWER: Nick E.
I wanted to feedback on the totally brilliant course I attended last week and would congratulate both Neil and Ricci on the experience. I think everyone enjoyed the experience and this was all down to Neil and Ricci's personality and helpful persona's. The whole process I found really interesting and engaging, I have never had any Landscape Photography training previously and the amount of help and confidence this has given me can only help going forward. A very INSPIRATIONAL course. Spot on!!!

It was a really good 2 days as I was very inexperienced at how to get the best use out of filters and the polarizing filter also.
It was also very helpful in understanding composition.
Both Neil and Ricci really understand both the technical and the creative sides and were good fun as well
REVIEWER: Bart A.
A great venue with a great photographer. Approached this course with a certain amount of trepidation but came away with a whole new view and a lot of inspiration. Thanks to Ricci and thanks to Nikon to re-igniting my passion for portraits
REVIEWER: Dave A.
A very informative day that balanced theory with very effective practice. A good mix of practical exercises that built individual skills.
