    Simona was friendly, welcoming and happy to share her expertise. The group were really nice too. What I liked was the clearly expressed brief, the incentive to get out and shoot solo, and the feedback session afterwards. I learned loads and I really enjoyed the opportunity to socialise with creative people.

    Plenty of time to shoot. Got useful and interesting tips. Good overall introduction. Group size and level of participants allowed to focus on creativity rather than basic technique. Friendly attitude of the other participants, sharing experiences and tips on the day. The host allowed extra time to review one shot per participant, very useful.

    Simona's photoshop class was interesting and fun. She focused on the basics, especially working with levels and exposure. I had a photo from a train station, and Simona how it was actually underexposed. Learning how to adjust the levels properly transformed it from an okay shot into something really good - brightening up the darker areas while keeping the bright lights balanced. It was eye-opening to see how much potential was in the original image. What made the class special was Simona herself - she's not just a great teacher but really entertaining too. Her decades of experience as a professional photographer meant she could share wider insights about digital photography, not just software tricks. The small group was lovely, and it was fascinating to see everyone's photos and how they improved them using the techniques we learned. If you're looking for a friendly, no-pressure introduction to photo editing with an experienced pro, I'd definitely recommend this workshop.

    An ex-colleague of mine, Ian Haworth, whose opinion I value greatly, mentioned that The Albert Bridge was his absolute favourite. I realised that although I had worked within walking distance of the bridge I had never really paid much attention to it before. So, armed with my tripod and camera gear I headed down to Battersea for a quick 10-minute walk to view this magnificent structure 1st hand. It was nicknamed "The Trembling Lady" because it tended to vibrate, particularly when used by tr

    I used to work in this area so taking a trip back there brought back many memories and thoughts of how much I loved it there. What better way to lock in those thoughts in a stunning photo of that wonderful view. Armed with my tripod I took a 30 sec exposure for this one, bringing a calmness to the scene.

    I enjoyed a photowalk event with Laurie Gallant and the Sacramento Photography group visiting Horton's Iris Farm. I always bring my Infrared camera with me in hopes of getting some good IR shots. When I saw the old red truck, I HAD to shoot it in IR! This is one of my favorite shots from that day and will go into my portfolio for sure!

    I was on holiday in Sydney and I went to Circular Quay to take some night time photos, when I saw that the opera house was lit up. I took a couple of photos ,then went to change my lens.By the time I had done this I saw the lights on the opera house had gone out. I then realised it was a rehearsal for Vivid a Sydney winter light show which takes place around the harbour.
