Matt sets some very useful challenges and included technical explanations that meant we learnt more about our cameras, capturing the available light and achieving the images we were striving for. The setting and weather was great. Very enjoyable session.

This event was excellent. Matt had us experiment with white balance in a way that I will never forget. He also had us experiment with makeshift color and partial ND filters which was extraordinary and simple. I got a bit lost with the ‘movement’ after the train spotting mostly due to crowded city. Excellent event, highly recommended.

Amanda did a great job in difficult conditions, the weather was pretty average to say the least. Still good value though and learnt things to improve my photography.

I thought we were walking around St Kilda instead we went to the South Melbourne market. I was looking forward to finding hidden photo opportunities in St Kilda.

Fabulous day at Hanging Rock with Kate and Amanda. Following a late start we split in two groups ascending to the summit stopping at regular intervals for a tutorial and taking a few images. Being challenged to shoot in M and explore the exposure triangle by Amanda was very helpful pushing me out of my M or T settings. Great experience and promptly booked two more.

The event was very relaxed which made it welcoming as a first timer. It's slightly difficult to keep on top of the challenges in the limited time but I can't think of an alternative to the way the event was run. It covers a broad range of concepts without being too overwhelming.

Pleasant day out with Kate. First time I have attended so did not know what to expect. Subject being architecture I was surprised that we only photographed one building, the Centre for Contemporary Art. Nevertheless it taught me to look at such a bleak building in a different light and to look up, look close. The red and black tower added some more interest. Happy with some of my shots.
