    Really enjoyed this session with Shams. He made lots of suggestions for creative street photography and I felt he quickly picked up on the differing interest areas of our group and supported us in fine tuning our techniques to realise our inspirations. We also learned from each other and enjoyed looking to see what each other were capturing with our differing lenses and cameras. A really relaxing and enjoyable session!

    Really enjoyed the class and felt like I learnt a lot! Everything was explained in layman's terms and was a great balance between theory and practice. The trainer taking the class was very friendly and approachable and didn't make you feel silly for asking lots of questions. I really feel like I've come away from the course with more knowledge and confidence, ready to go and practice on my own.

After our lunch we were given less than 15 minutes for looking around and to grab photos. I had seen the boulders and knew I had to have my tripod, so I went to our shuttle grabbed my backpack and tripod. I was going over potential shots in my head. I made it to a cleared area and started setting up my tripod and camera up knowing I didn't have much time. I decided I wanted to
