The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

    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.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

    The photo was taken on the shore of Lake Ontario at Woodbine Beach Park. Whenever you take a photo of a sunrise or sunset, it is difficult to predict how nature will show you. Sometimes expectations are not met, but sometimes you receive a modest but magnificent gift. There was a small puddle on the shore of the lake from a recent rain and it was in it that the miracle of the sunrise appeared. Shot on a Samsung 21s mobile phone and processed in the phone in the Snapseed program.
