    Tarina was a fabulous host. She herded the 'cats' with grace and finesse. Tarina was attentive to us all, and as soon as we asked for help she was there. I would highly recommend this photoshoot with her.

    It was good to compare and observe how others approach taking photos, and the concentration on the environment you are presented with to see how differing methods work for the same shot

    Tarina provided the perfect balance between challenge (I loved that she threw us straight into Manual mode) and support (I learnt a huge amount without feeling overwhelmed with information). Thank you!

    Fantastic morning. Managed to get some great shots. Helps when you have someone that has unbelievable knowledge about birds and their behaviour and how to compose the photograph.

    The quarter-hour after sunset when the harbour turns magenta, purple and blue. I?ve often stop here to look at the view. P&333hutukawa silhouettes anchor the Chelsea foreground. City, bridge and harbour activity in the background. Makes for a complex, but interesting set of layers.

    Title or Location: Walkworth Satellite Station
    It was a cool and foggy night as my mate Bryan and I arrived at the location. The moonphase was right, the sky was clear, and the Milky Way core was starting to become visible. We parked our car and did some set up shots and moved around to get the composition we wanted. I managed to get this shot as the fog had cleared a little and before the low cloud started rolling in. Its just an awesome feeling being out there in the dark doing night time photography

    I enjoyed a photowalk event with Laurie Gallant and the Sacramento Photography group visiting Horton's Iris Farm. I always bring my Infrared camera with me in hopes of getting some good IR shots. When I saw the old red truck, I HAD to shoot it in IR! This is one of my favorite shots from that day and will go into my portfolio for sure!

    Title or Location: Circular Quay Sydney Australia
    I was on holiday in Sydney and I went to Circular Quay to take some night time photos, when I saw that the opera house was lit up. I took a couple of photos ,then went to change my lens.By the time I had done this I saw the lights on the opera house had gone out. I then realised it was a rehearsal for Vivid a Sydney winter light show which takes place around the harbour.
