-
A very good Short course on Night photography with a carefully scripted walk through scenic spots at circular quay.. highly recommended for photographers interested in learning how to take low light shots.
-
Great evening photographing around circular quay
-
A handout with all the information covered would have been a good idea. So much information and not enough time to take sufficient notes.
-
I experienced problems because of poor eyesight in low light conditions, and mobility problems being an amputee and found the light painting just too difficult to take photos on my knees with the camera vertical, but apart from that I really enjoyed the three hours with Ben. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to people doing night photography for the first time. I ended up learning so much.
-
Great workshop, had a great time, got some awsome shots and found some new places to shoot!
-
The instructor was really helpful and the locations chosen were perfect!
-
The description of the course was spot-on - I can now use my camera to take a variety of night shots, including the use of a few "tricks" to get special effects. The workshop instructor was attentive to everyone and answered all our questions.
-
Presenter was very enthusiastic and helpful. Would recommend this experience as it encouraged me to learn more about my camera and photography in general.
-
The course was great, teacher was very friendly and explained clearly. Would like to do a further course in the future!
-
Ben was a very engaging instructor. He deomstrated he had good experience and delivered the lesson in a practical and enjoyable manner. Enjoyed the experience very much.

Course was great learnt some really neat tricks with the camera but thought it was a bit too advanced and would have liked some more basic explanations about functions otherwise make it more clear that the course would suit someone with slightly more experience. Our instructor was really helpful though and very patient!

I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a great deal in the photography workshop.

I have discovered an area of photography that I have fallen in love with. Thanks again to Ben for making my Xmas gift from a relative a wonderful experience! Highly recommend it!!!

It was fantastic.. great teacher and fantastic spots I never knew of within the rocks and circular quay to take photos. Will have to go there on my own to explore again.
-
It was an excellent workshop.The locations were great and Glen was a very knowledgeable instructor and kept everyone organized and made sure that everyone knew what they were doing.
-
We bought our camera recently and found the instruction booklet daunting. What we found in this corse was a working, walking tutorial in not only how to use it but how to get excellent results. If you're in a situation like ours I highly recommend this course! Mark & Katie
-
Instructor Ben was very good at explaining and assisting people who were not as experienced - very patient. We all learnt some great techniques
-
The workshop was great I feel more confident experimenting with my camera and I have a greater understanding of how to use the manual functions of my camera. My instructor was very patient and understanding and made the experience very enjoyable!
-
The course was interesting and informative and the 3 hours just flew by. I would highly recommend it.
-
Session was great, not too complicated that it only covered the pros but not too basic that it only covered the real basics. Only complaint was the number of people in the session, everyone seemed to trip over each other. Tutor was also very good.
-
The tutor, Glen, was excellent, we learned so much and he was so patient with our lack of knowledge.
-
It was a wonderful experience! In just 3 hours I got to learn so much more about my camera.
-
We were incredibly lucky with the weather! The course was brilliant- learnt lots and our teacher explained tasks very clearly and patiently. He ended up leaving us at the last spot as we were all busy putting our new-found skills to use!
-
Great night, weather inclement didn't dampen enthusiasm of people on the course. Most people on the course were beginners with tripods etc but I think it was a great night.
-
Very enjoyable and learnt a lot.
-
Was very good - I learnt lots and had fun. The instructor was also very knowledgable and a real people person

The size of class ensured the workshop was intimate and fun. The instructor was able to spend time with all participants and helped us to learn more about our cameras and composing a great shot all whilst enjoying the best harbour in the world!

I found it very rewarding. Glenn was an excellent teacher. He outlined the basics in easily understandable language including the principles behind them. He was attentive to group and individual needs. It has provided a foundation on which I can build. We were very fortunate with the weather.

-
This was a great gift to receive and I would recommend it to people thinking of gifts for others. Thank you!

Night was fantastic, but I do think there should have been a 15 minute toilet and grab something to eat. A few people came straight from work and we were hungry!
-
Great experience, very knowledgeable instructor, nice and relaxed atmosphere, great pictures!
-
The experience was not good ... it was BLOODY MARVELOUS !!! the tutor Glenn was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and totally went out of his way to make it interesting and teach as much as we could absorb and then more.
-
The course was great. I had never done any photography courses before. I would definitely recommend to anybody interested in photography.
-
The three hours flew by so quickly - I enjoyed it so much - Ben was so helpful and patient. Definitely want to go shooting more night photography now.
-
The Night Photography Workshop was a great experience. I definitely left the workshop with a greater knowledge and understanding of night photography.
-
Enjoyed it very much. Time went very quickly. Has inspired me to go back another night and go further afield to get some other shots. We were lucky it was such a nice night. (Leader was very helpful.)
