Testimonials

Hi Janice: Thanks for the notes, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at your class. I have been out a few times trying to reinforce what you taught me and would have liked to come back for more, unfortunately I have a prior commitment on the 17th and cannot make it. Please keep me in mind if you run another class later in the year.…

I’ve only had a brief time to practice since the workshop and it was an opportunity to use the Tv setting to capture my grand-daughter throwing a football at a flag football game. I’m preparing some of my photos for our church Bazar in November and might just use that shot of the barn through the branches.
The visualization techniques we used with f-stop and depth of field really helped put things into perspective, so to speak.

Brian -Ottawa - age 50’s

Hi Janice, I had a great day with you and really benefited from your explanations of F-stops and Shutter Speed. I had read my manual and watched the DVD that came with my camera before I came but never really understood how they worked until your workshop. I was still a bit fuzzy about ISO when I left but after reading the information attached to this e-mail it makes a lot more sense to me. I have been experimenting with the different types of metering settings on my camera and having a lot more success with achieving properly exposed photographs more consistently.
