An Astro course just at the right time!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: How to: Astrophotography

This course came just as the right time as a week or so after I was travelling to Iceland for some Aurora chasing.


Neil shared a lot of useful information and information that made me question how I already approach Astro photography and Aurora. All put into practise when I went to Iceland. I even added a Nikkor Z 14-24mm f2.8 as a rental and left my Nikkor 20mm f1.8 at home. Suffice it to save that lens jumped to the top of my wish list after returning!

I recently attended a bespoke course on the Nikon

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: Mastering Z 8 Pt. 1

It is incredibly insightful. Neil was exceptionally knowledgeable and tailored the session to accommodate all questions, making it feel personalised. I picked up nuanced insights that would have taken months, if not years, of field use to discover. This course is highly recommended for everyone—from beginners to advanced professionals as it offers something valuable for all. For Z8 users, it’s indispensable, diving deep into the camera’s capabilities beyond any book or manual.

Studley Royal Deer Rut

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Studley Royal Deer Rut

An instructive, informative, well organized day that allowed many opportunities for learning and obtaining photographs you can be pleased with. Neil, as always extremely enthusiastic and helpful. Just listening to him tell participants what camera settings he was using as he lined up his photograph was hugely helpful on it's own. It is a day well worth participating in, in a beautiful setting with no shortage of photo opportunities with constant help available if that is what you are looking

Great course!

COURSE: Mastering Z 6 III Pt. 1

Over the last couple of years I have come know Ricci’s delivery of knowledge and information of all things Nikon. I also follow him on YouTube. Ambassadors like Ricci and Neil are valuable additions to one’s whole photography journey in my opinion. My personal learning journey owes a lot to Ricci’s and Neil’s expertise but also their ability to respond to any question without judgement. Simply knowing they are there to answer questions anytime is both reassuring and somewhat personable.

Weather doesn't stop the learning

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - Northumberland Castles and Ruins

The weather for this day was not the kindest, and after a morning of shooting when the rain set in the trainers dedicated time to showing how to get the best from editing images, discussed all things nikon camera, having a small group "after school club" allowing some very detailed discussion on use of various settings and how to get the best from the camera you have

Superb Support and Guidance

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - The Best of Northumberland

The day was part of a few days spent with the trainers, their enthusiasm did not waiver was the days went on, continually providing guidance and support. Reviewing images to ensure your were getting the best from the environment and your equipment, the 2 trainers have a different style and approach which means you get a wide ranging approach to help improve your own photography

Excellent day

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2024

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - Northumberland Coastlines

I jokingly said that the 2 trainers were with me from the time I woke until I went to sleep, they don't wake you or tuck you in, but it feels they are with you all day. Both go out of the way to ensure every moment of the event is beneficial to you as an attendee, happy to chat through all aspects of the day over breakfast, review the morning over lunch and discuss edits at dinner. No question is left unanswered, you get as much or as little input as you need at each point of the day.
