    Once again, a wonderful workshop led by Craig Duncan. Craig is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and more than happy to share any information he can. As someone who is still transitioning from auto to manual camera settings, I found Craig's instruction to be clear and easy to put into practice. If, at any point throughout the workshop I had further questions, Craig was happy to answer them.

    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.
