    I really enjoyed the sunrise photography class! I helped to push me to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time but haven't b/c I was unsure of camera settings, etc. Tom is so patient and easy going, so I never feel stressed or insecure to ask for help from him. He even made more time to talk about light and what to look for when photographing. Planning on taking another class from him in the future.

    It was a fun evening exploring some creative ways to use light. I had always wanted to experiment with light painting and Tom gave us that opportunity. I wish it had been a bit warmer, but that is no criticism of the organizers or the instructor. I am looking forward to the next session that strikes my interest.

    Since this was my first session, I was unsure what to expect. I always aim to gain at least one skill set when attending a class such as this. My take home message was using and positioning a light source. In this case the sun. I have already ordered a collapsible diffuser screen.
