    I thoroughly enjoyed this event. It was great to get some instruction and advice from Chris, and no question or random stop was too much. As someone who regularly uses her camera but always resorts to auto, it was great to step out of my comfort zone and use the manual setting. Chris explained how changing the aperture will change the focus, and the ISO changes the lighting. I'm happy to say I have some lovely photos from my first Mandurah Photography Group event.

    I really enjoyed the spot we went to as I?d never been there before. So much bird life and beauty in the water and surrounding bushland. It took me a while to familiarise myself with aperture, shutter speed and IOS..in fact I?m still not so sure I get that. But I guess like anything, it just takes a bit of playing around and experimenting with the camera and my different lenses to get a better understanding of these things. Craig was extremely patient and attentive, answering any questions. To be fair, I could have stayed there all day and played around with my camera, I already feel better equipped to take better quality photographs. Thank you.

    It was my first workshop so I wasn't sure what to expect. Craig gave us all a few pointers. He invested a bit more time with people who were more beginner end of the scale but made sure that he checked in with each person, had a look at what they were shooting and suggesting tweaks that might help. It was an enjoyable morning. Nice group of people as well.
