Excellent location, all so helpful.

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Chesterfield

An excellent location with great facilities and very very helpful staff. We'll organised, just the right number of photographers and plenty of time and space to work without affecting others. The 'actors' were excellent, patient and thoroughly amenable and helpful.

A ‘Must’ for Z8 Users!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Mastering Z 8 Pt. 2

The Trainer teased out the less known functions on the Z8, providing both personal insight, practical illustrated examples, and expert knowledge. A more detailed run through the ‘shooting menus’ also equipped attendees with the ability to extract more from the camera. Explanations, and responses to questions provided insight that cannot be gleaned from the instruction manual. A great course.

Comprehensive deep dive into the settings menu

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Mastering Z 8 Pt. 2

The course covered pretty much every option and gave me a good understanding to make full use of the Z8. There were also many recommendations on what should be left unchanged and what settings are beneficial to change according to how you want to use the camera

COURSE: Mastering Z 8 Pt. 2

Great course for really getting to know the Nikon Z8 with plenty of time available to ask questions relating to the training as you go through the class well as time to ask how to customise it to suit your needs

Red Squirrels Experience day

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

This is a fantastic opportunity to photograph the less common red squirrel, everything about the day was brilliant, the venue, weather, Ricci who was standing in for Neil, was nice to finally meet him was very helpful if you required any help or tips, loan of several lenses Ricci had with him (loved the 85mm f1.2) also not forgetting the stars of the show, the red squirrels, I took so many great shots it has been so hard to try and edit the good from the bad. All in all a fantastic day.

Excellent Course, Bad Weather

RATING: 4.6 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Studley Royal Deer Rut

Superb venue with lots of opportuntiy to get close to and photograph the deer. The weather was very poor, raining most of the time, which is something none of us can control, but on the plus side it was possible to get some realy atmospheric shots. Finished slight early due to the conditions but were able to make good use of the time with advice and questions and answers from Neil.

Lots of squirrels and small birds too

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

There was a lot of red squirrel activity and great opportunities to see the little guys, there is also a lot of bird activity too. Definitely would recommend it, and was great to try out other lenses too.

REVIEWER: Bara A.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2023

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

The event itself was extremely well organised and the location of the photography experience Was simply breathtaking. Red squirrels were in abundance and expert advice was always on hand. The reflection pool hide was an amazing experience, with red squirrels literally walking in front of the lens.
I had an amazing experience, took hundreds of photographs, and would highly recommend this day to anyone interested in either red squirrel photography or just improving wildlife photography in general.
