This was a great introduction to using my camera. I learnt alot. There was no pressure and we felt we could ask any questions. It was nice having a small group and great to be able to learn and then take photos using what we learnt.

This was my favourite so far. Just the right amount of participants and a model we can practice on! Love all the tips and tricks we learned on this session. Would love to have the same for flash photography.

I enjoyed the event and learnt a significant amount both at the event itself but also on the U Tube video's which Alex sent us the link too. The one thing which would have me rate it as a 5 is if there was a little more opportunity to give each person some critique - Alex did try but with the limited time it was tricky.

I learned a lot of great knowledge about camera techniques and camera setup. I am now taking photographs in manual and that is because of this beginners photography class. I also really liked having a booklet to prepare me before class. I also liked taking photographs of architecture at the museum and going to the winter gardens. Alex is a great teacher and I learned a lot from him.

Alex is an expert instructor and encourages the group to learn from each other as well as himself. He is ready with praise and manages to make to sessions fun. I learn about a new aspect of photography each time I go. Above all, it?s enjoyable and fun

Relaxed and friendly meetup. Inspiring ideas for considering composition and mood, as well as contextualising the subject of a photograph.

Yes. Excellent. I've been pressed for time but was particularly keen for this one. Rightly Enjoyed ! A special occasion too. Plenty of opportunities; perfect day. Your efforts and guidance much appreciated. People, architecture, life, History ++ (It was about 40 years since I was last there - much changed.) I've put the shots I took in a set/album of my flickr: If interested: Click on this following link, then click on the first shot for its photo page, and proceed. I'll add some texts below when I get time, https://www.flickr.com/photos/peteshep/albums/72177720319516172 :-) I should have made more time for my catch-the-moment People shots. Comments much appreciated too. Many thanks Alex P :-)

This was a last minute effort from my end. Left the house not thinking I would make it to location but luckily there was just enough light when I arrived. Have been really busy over the holidays with work and have been putting off my urge to get my gear out and shoot so was really pleased to get this result.

Title or Location: Light trails at Auckland docks
Having misplaced my ND filter, I was limited to a 20 second exposure at 18mm, f/16. Propping up my tripod on wooden beams jutting into the water - with foot-long gaps between them! - to maximise the reflections in the shot, I was lucky enough to be waiting as the ferries started to come in for the night. The short exposure led to the distinct streaking from the ferry lights, and made the capture all the more serendipitous.

I was inspired by such scenery and wish myself could see it in person for many years. Since then, I keep an eye on fog falls into the city.What a beautiful morning. All years expectation comes true.

Title or Location: Maori Bay, Muriwai, Auckland
I have been a fan of Aurora Borealis/Australis ever since I started getting into Landscape Photography. With the forecast, I know its going to be a spectacular one. Despite of the limited time and resources to travel down to south island that day, I make sure that I'll be able to capture it here in Auckland. So, I traveled an hour to Muriwai which is a haven for all landscape photographers in Auckland.While driving, I've been thinking of some compositions which I think would be different from

Title or Location: Portsmouth Dockyard
The photo was taken at Emsworth, a very picturesque harbour on the south coast of England. The sea was incredibly calm making it like a mirror, and the morning light was soft and warm in colour. I was stood on the harbour wall and framed the shot to include the sunken boat to give it scale and perspective.

There are a few crows living around my place. Those two became quite tame and stayed in my garden. They always got a few tidbits and as a thank you they gave me little gifts. So I really enjoyed their company.
