Re-invigorating enthusiasm
10/03/2020
Experienced club photographer David Fraser wanted to get re-inspired so he came for a 3 day workshop in early March. Despite some challenging weather he managed to capture some cracking images. Here's his review...
Hi Chris (and Sam),
Thank you for a fabulous three days on your Seascape Workshop. Although the weather conspired against us a bit, I got some good images at the great locations you took me to around the Cornish coast. Using chest waders to get into the tideline was a revelation, as was using back-curtain flash and the range of filters you provided. Your relaxed and knowledgeable approach meant that, even when the weather stopped us getting our cameras out, I felt that the opportunity to discuss photography issues in a wider context was instructive and beneficial.
Back in the studio, learning about your fine art workflow using Photoshop opened my eyes to the subtleties of image manipulation using that software. I will definitely be practising those skills on my better images in future.
You have a lovely house in a great location for your workshops, and you and Sam have such a relaxed and friendly attitude that made me feel so welcome. And I really enjoyed the results of your second hobby - cooking! What wonderful meals you prepared (and Sam's desserts were a real treat!)
I certainly achieved the key aim of re-invigorating my enthusiasm for photography. Thank you again.
Best Regards
David
