Red Squirrels, Hawes

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2025

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

A brilliant day photographing red squirrels in Hawes. Huge thanks to Neil as always, for his expert tuition, support and encouragement - I came away with some incredible shots, which surpassed those taken on the same course in July. I highly recommend this experience, it’s a great day out and being at one with nature is an added bonus!

Red Squirrels

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2025

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

Apart from getting some good pictures of red squirrels my main purpose in attending was to learn more about my Z8. I ended up getting some cracking shorts and learned a lot about my camera and 'best' settings. Very pleased by the outcome.

Squirrels beyond expectations, brilliant day

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2025

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Red Squirrels

A wonderful day with boundless photographic opportunities of red squirrels in different settings and behaviours. Well organised and plenty of support for photo advice. Comfortable, well appointed hides with a variety of logs, stumps and a gorgeous reflection pool, a jumping platform and photogenic stone wall with moss. Bonus was a variety of birds who also were comfortable coming up close. A very special day out. Bring plenty of card memory and batteries! And wear wellies if it's been wet.

COURSE: After School Club

Caught the recording as I missed the live event. Ricci's response to my question regarding gimbals and video recording was perfect. Thank you

Another Excellent After School Club

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: NOVEMBER 2025

COURSE: After School Club

From images taken on the location courses, to news of released products and firmware updates, along with attendee questions and queries, After School Club is a wonderful resource for Nikon shooters of varying experience and interests. The October After School Club provided me with things I that wish to try when out shooting, and overall, assisted my development and understanding as a photographer.

Northumberland Castles

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2025

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - Northumberland Castles and Ruins

Maybe not the best skies for Photographing Castles, but the early start for sunrise on Bamburgh Beach, Lindisfarne and then on to Cocklawburn made the day go really quickly and very enjoyable. The added bonus of night time Fire Spinning was a brilliant addition to the day.

Northumberland Coast

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2025

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - Northumberland Coastlines

I had a fantastic day, despite the early inclement weather. Neil and Ricci were always on hand with advice, suggestions and technical skills. I learned and laughed with a great group of people.

Rugged Northumbria

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2025

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - Northumberland Castles and Ruins

This was a well organised course. Neil and Ricci used their knowledge of the area and Nikon equipment to help everyone get the best out of the course. Every opportunity was taken to try and make the most of the location, lighting and environment. They maintained a great atmosphere and everyone felt included. Recommended.

"Stormy Skies, Great Shots & Even Better Tuition!"

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: OCTOBER 2025

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures - The Best of Northumberland

Attended the Nikon School Adventures – Best of Northumberland with Neil & Ricci on 24th Oct. Despite Storm Benjamin cutting the shoot short, we still captured great seascapes around Bamburgh Castle & Rumbling Kern. The afternoon Q&A/editing session was packed with tips. Fantastic learning day — can’t wait for the next one!
