    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.

    Tom provided great insights and tips to get the most out of the scenes we were capturing. He was encouraging and took his time to review what we had captured, but also shot with his own camera and showed us what he was seeing through the lens, very helpful.

    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.

    I absolutely loved this class. Not only did I learn a TON about food photography, Tom was able to explain things about my camera- functions, settings, etc.-that I had not previously known about. As somewhat of a novice, this class really opened up my eyes to what I can do with food photography. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn about shadows, lighting and tricks to making images stand out.

    Took a photography workshop from Dan Ballard (https://www.danballardphotography.com/) and we decided to set up on the road before the entry to the park. This allowed us to use our zoom lens to capture the beauty of the dunes behind the mountains. Learned a lot in his workshop and I am looking forward to taking the next one.

    It was just one of those special evenings that I looked out my window and said to myself get the camera and let's get a great shot! So I went out my back door and get in the water and just started taking pics and Bam! Got this perfect shot. The colors were something I haven't seen since in along time and I'm happy to have captured it.

    I live near the water. As I worked in my garden, this eagle landed near the water's edge. It stayed long enough for me to grab my good old Cannon Rebel and I was able to capture several images with my 200mm lens. The bird seemed to have no fear of me. I moved slowly peacefully towards it and I ended up about 25' away. I did not want to scare it, so I only captured a few images. When I had finished, the bird remained here for quite some time. It was an amazing experience. I did crop the image to
