    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 was over the moon from the start of shooting this shot to the final edit.It was my first time when I finally learned how to use a tracker after owning the tracker for one year. I was stunned after seeing those images. Never had a chance to shoot that long exposure, but found it was absolutely worth it.I was with my partner and friends at Pandanus on Litchfield, and definitely was thinking of shooting in a conventional style. So, I definitely wasn?t prepared. Also, the moon was going to

    Title or Location: Near Goukdsboro, PA
    Originally showed up at Gouldsboro State Park at sunrise to get a backlit, misty shot of the island but when I got there, NO mist, and enough boats on the lake to walk across!Quickly decided to take a backroad to another favorite spot nearby, and slammed on the brakes as I was driving over a small bridge when I looked to the right and saw THIS scene. Finding it was sheer luck, but as always, just getting out there at first light is half the battle. Made this one standing right on the bridge.
