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 :-)

Title or Location: Tiritiri Matangi Island
It was nearly 3am and I was setting up for one of my bucket list shots, the Milky Way and Tiritiri Matangi Lighthouse. I've been waiting a few years to get this shot and various things had to align. I needed time off work, clear skies, the right moonphase, the milky way in position and last of all a hut booking which can be very hard to get. Here I was out setting up my composition and this photo wasn't the one I was after. Little did I know it was going to be the best shot of the night. Not lon

Title or Location: Devonport
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: Lanark County, Ontario
This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
