The Trainer’s (Ricci) broad knowledge and experience meant he was able to provide a detailed and tailored day’s instruction. Has given me confidence to kick-on using my SB5000 and other Speedlights in many more set-ups. Nicely paced, all questions answered. Almost felt like a One to One!

I learnt a lot on how to take great pictures of waterfalls, which was my primary objective for attending the course. I also learnt about the capabilities of my camera (Nikon D850) and the uses of ND filters. Neil was a great and helpful trainer. I would have liked to take more shots of waterfalls but the weather wasn't cooperative in the latter part of the day. Overall the course was excellent.

A great course! Really enjoyed it. My biggest fear from reading previous glowing reports about the course was that somehow it wouldn't work for me. Needn't have worried! Beforehand I had lots of 'random' knowledge drawn from magazine articles, camera user guides, camera shop, online discussions etc. etc. This course started at the beginning, and as the day went on my random knowledge all started to gel together so that I am now hugely more confident handling the camera.

I had been looking forward to this event for some time and did not leave disappointed. The session started in early twilight and finished in darkness providing a huge range of photo opportunities and extremes. The available support of the friendly and approachable Neil & Ricci (Nikon) was appreciated. They also had Nikon kit available for use during the session. Last, but not least, was the fact that we had access to photograph the Lancaster in a closed, private session was just fantastic.

What a completely fantastic experience this night was! To have close up time with a Lancaster bomber was amazing, very knowledgable and friendly staff as well, I learnt a lot! Thank you!

This evening gave the unique opportunity to a stunning subject, the Lancaster bomber. The staging of the different shots were well thought out and the small size of the group provided excellent access for all to get great shots. Neil and Ricci were on hand throughout for advice and when dials were inadvertently altered in the dark.

This workshop complimented the evening shoot with the Lancaster Bomber and helped you get prepared for a fantastic photo shoot. The reinactors were very professional and really looked the part and the setting and props really brought history to life. With Neil and Ricci providing advice on camera settings and composition you could always guarantee capturing some cracking shots.

This was an amazing workshop, set in the aviation centre at East Kirkby you felt history come to life. Standing in front of the Lancaster Bomber and having the opportunity to take photographs up close and all around the aircraft, was absolutely fantastic and I have finally ticked off one of the shots from my bucket list - thanks team Nikon - you rock!

A truly excellent evening – extremely well organised and with a wide range of set-ups used to maximise the photo opportunities available.
The actors in period costume really helped create some memorable scenes, but the star was clearly Just Jane herself – magnificent yet menacing… and the sound from those engines!!
So a great success, with some wonderfully evocative images captured.
Thanks once again, Nikon School.

This is an excellent course, our trainer was very clear and precise and was more than happy to explain things again when one of us got stuck or confused. Would recommend this course to anyone who is a beginner or needs a bit more in depth tuition.
