David Howard reviewed: basics of photography workshop milton keynes

"The day started indoors going through the basics of Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO. We then went into the spacious grounds to put into practice what we had learned. After a while we returned indoors where Dave went through our photos and gave us hints and tips. This was the pattern for the day. The number of delegates on the course was ideal. We had the right balance of time on our own to take photographs and time with Dave talking and advising us on settings, lighting and composition, etc. From the start, Dave's depth of knowledge about photography was apparent and his obvious enthusiasm was on show for the whole day. Since the course Dave has kept in touch via email and is always open to answering questions and giving advice. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the ins-and-outs of their camera."

Nikki Merritt reviewed: basics of photography workshop milton keynes

"I attended this course as I wanted I learn about how to get the best out of my camera (which to be honest I’d just bought because it looked nice and I had no idea how to use it!). From the start I was really impressed with how David dealt with my initial enquiry. He asked me what I wanted to get out of the course, what camera I had and what type of photos I liked taking. On arrival I was again impressed, this time with the venue and the welcome from David - he’s really friendly, very knowledgable but talks you through everything to make sure you understand how to do things with the camera - but most importantly why you need to do those things in order to get the best photos. The structure of the day was well organised and I also felt I could ask as many questions as I wanted - no question was silly and David always took the time to answer them. I have put most of what I learnt into practice already and am truly chuffed with the photos I’ve been taking. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and this course."

"I did this course in November. One of my main reasons for choosing this course is that delivery is by the named expert, unlike some courses that offer prepared material delivered by a generalist course lecturer without photography specialisation. The day was excellent, we went through all the key camera settings, the ISO, aperture and shutter speed. David explained the functions, what they do and the effect on your photography, then after each theory section, we went out into the beautiful gardens and practiced what we had learnt. At this time of year the light soon faded and we managed to capture very atmospheric views, far better than you could when your camera is left on 'Auto'. David is friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgable. Since completing the course I have put my knowledge to good use, experimenting with my phone, taking atmospheric photos and intentionally creating interesting effects. Special mention for the fantastic buffet breakfast and lunch and coffee throughout the day."
