    This was the first time I'd done anything like this. Thoroughly enjoyed it, it was great fun, I got out of my comfort zone and stretched myself to try something new, and picked up loads of great practical tips from Sheenah. Oh and even got a couple of shots I'm quite pleased with. Would definitely recommend this and book on others. I think I'm now addicted to street photography :)

    Taken freehand on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV @100mm, f/4.5, 1/640 sec, ISO 100.I don't generally take landscape photos, I'm more sport and wildlife. But as my girlfriend and I were walking by, the trees just opened up revealing this vista looking down the length of the reservoir. When in Rome!...well...North Yorkshire!I like to do as much as possible 'in camera' so editing was minimal, I've tweaked the shadows and highlights.
