    My experience taking Thomas's workshop is 10/10! Thomas is a great teacher and does a very nice job of breaking down the manual parts of the camera to someone new to it. This workshop is an excellent value. I will surely be taking any other classes Thomas offers. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you, Thomas!!

    Enjoyed the event. Received lots of good information to start my hobby of taking pictures with my Canon camera. Walking Balboa was fun and I learned and practiced the photography basics. I had time to focus on thinking the settings of the shot before taking it and review of shots taken to answer all my questions. I would recommend the class. The class objectives were met. This class has gotten me more excited about spending time taking pictures with my camera. Thomas is a good teacher and enjoys sharing his knowledge at the appropriate student level.

    There?s not a lot of story behind this photo other than a prime example that on the days you feel like not bringing your camera out and going on an unplanned adventure, are usually the best days and the most creative days. With the this photo I got really lucky, because not only was the lighting perfect but so was the animals pose.

    Title or Location: Bath, UK
    I was traveling to Bath from York and someone had mentioned about the overlook for breathtaking views of the city. I was not told about the difficult climb! However, got there at the onset of the golden hour and stayed till way past the blue hour. There were couples present for a romantic evening and families enjoying a wonderful time together witnessing the view. Shot with a Nikon Z8, lens- 24-120 (100 mm zoomed) f4 lens on a tripod with a 20 second exposure.
