    What a fantastic course. I have a much better understanding, Sheenah was brilliant.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and choice of venue was perfect. This was my second beginners course. The first was many years ago and lately I have been getting muddled and relied on automatic settings to take a pic. Sheenah put me at ease straight away and with great patience helped me to rebuild my confidence in using and controlling my camera in manual mode. Sheenah has helped me set a baseline for improving my camera skills. I am looking forward to my photographic future.

    Very good, Sheenah put the lesson over very clearly and gave us all a good baseline to go away and start practicing with and her patience with a total beginner like me who only just knew how to turn the camera on was excellent. I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to do a little more than point and click and move up from their phone 😎

    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!

    Having been to the Yorkshire wildlife park a few times before I realise that the Lions spent most of the day asleep. However to get them back in on a night what's when they feed them. So I made them my last visit before closing time and captured two brothers having a bit power struggle.....perfect photo territory!
