The After School Nikon Club has been a burst of creative joy, thanks to Neil and Ricci. Their fun, friendly teaching style makes every session inspiring, and their tips instantly boost confidence. They turn tricky ideas into lightbulb moments and create a warm, encouraging space to learn. I’m genuinely grateful for their energy, humour, and passion for photography.

This is probably the best photography trip that I have ever been on. Such a wide variety of scenery and animals, some of which was almost unbelievable. As always with Nikon courses, they are extremely well organised and happy and fun places. The tutors / course leaders are happy with all abilities and skill levels. Thank you Neil and Ricci.

Three groups of 3 delegates were led by Neil, Ricci and Chris Gomersall and spent time at two different hides to photograph red squirrels and woodland birds, as well as snow buntings near Cairngorms Mountain,, red deer, and mountain hares and other woodland birds. It was possible to try out top quality lenses and the advice and guidance from the trainers was excellent. The hotel in Grantown was comfortable and an ideal base for the week.

Another exceptional course by Neil and Ricci, demonstrating their knowledge of locations, weather patterns, and wildlife behaviour, to get delegates to the most advantageous places on the day. On site tuition and guidance invaluable as always. All of this delivered in pleasant, convivial, and an enjoyable atmosphere.

For wildlife, I have previously shot mostly in Africa, and normally shoot mostly amateur sport and landscape, so learning to use some of the functionality of my kit that I don't commonly use was fascinating, as was experiencing the amazing Scottish wildlife. Neil and Peter were great at explaining what we would see, how we would need to shoot it, and then getting us there to see it. Super worthwhile.

It was an excellent experience. Neil and Peter who run the course, genuinely want each attendee to succeed in fulfilling their course goals. To this end, with good humour, they offer photographic guidance, resolve minor technical issues and have available additional cameras, lenses and accessories. They also locate photogenic white tailed eagles, red deer, feral goats, otters and pine martens besides hen harriers and great northern divers. This participant's goals were heartily fulfilled.

This was a superb location for exploring the many photo locations in the Glencoe area that the course tutors showed us. Even with the difficult lighting conditions we were able to capture some great images. Neil and Ricci provided guidance on lens choice and camera settings as well as tips for better compositions. During the evenings Neil and Ricci helped with editing the shots in Lightroom which was very useful. I would recommend this course for improving your landscape photograpy.

I had a fantastic long weekend with Neil and our local wildlife guide, Peter. I gained valuable insights into camera settings and fieldcraft, and enjoyed some unforgettable wildlife encounters that resulted in photographs I’m proud to add to my portfolio. I’d highly recommend this experience and look forward to joining Neil and the Nikon School again in the future.

I signed up to this zoom call for the first time as I had a question about fixing some damage to my camera. I emailed the question a few days before and I got a helpful response and even more on the actual video call including recommended software I can use for editing. I really appreciate their help and it was interesting to hear their advice to others for their questions so I would attend again even if I don’t have anything to ask.
