    This was an excellent morning and Sheenah was an excellent teacher who put concepts over really well. The mix of practical camera use and the underpinning theory set me up well to take intentional pictures, as she said "You choose what the picture looks like!" I'd highly recommend Sheenah for future lessons and beginners to get a handle on how to use your camera. The quality of my pictures significantly changed for the better over the 3 hours of the lesson, very impressive!

    It was a good insight into photographic composition. I knew a fair bit about it but have learned some new Compositional Techniques during the event. It was nice to meet up with fellow photographers too.

    I really enjoyed the course. There were 3 of us as 1 person wasn't able to join at the last minute. Sheena explained everything really well and was very patient with all our questions. We had plenty of time to practice what we'd learnt and Sheena sent us some useful documents afterwards. I'm looking forward to my next course

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
