A Great Introduction into the World of Capture One

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: Digital Darkroom: Introduction to Capture One Pro

If you haven't used Capture One before it's great powerful piece of photo editing software and there is a dedicated version for Nikon camera owners out there. David takes you through all that you need to know to get you up and running in no time with easy to follow demonstrations. If you are finding that you are getting out of your depth with other photo editing software then this course is for you and you will be amazed at how easy it is to get a grasp of. I would highly recommend.

If you have looked at landscape photos in magazines or online & are wondering how to get the silky smooth water or how to get the vibrant colours at sunrise or sunset then this is the course for you.

RATING: 5 of 5

Neil & Ricci will answer any questions you may have throughout the workshop. Would highly recommend.

Given me a workable alternative to DXO

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: Digital Darkroom: Introduction to Capture One Pro

I was interested in the S/W for tethered shooting, which was not covered in much detail, and as an alternative to DXO Photolab - the variants of which I have used for many years. The course showed me that this is a viable alternative - or even companion depending on usage . I've invested in a copy as a result and will spend a couple more weeks going through it. Overall a good course that met 90% of what I wanted - it led to a purchase so has to be alright!

Grads and more

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: How to: Filters

I didn't know much about grads and ND filters which is why I signed up for this course. I do now and I'm glad I did sign up. Neil and Ricci know just about everything you need to know about using these types of filters with Nikon cameras and lenses. Their knowledge is similar to a bottomless pit. I suspect they get asked the same questions time and time again, yet they answer them with patience and positively encourage questions. An enjoyable couple of hours.

Did this help me ?

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: Getting Started with Photography - Part 1

Having been out of photography for a number of years and needing to replace my ancient Nikon D200s, I signed up for this course to find out how technology had moved on. Neil and Ricci covered just about every aspect I was keen to know about without me asking any questions! The course covered literally everything from shutter speeds guidance, the best aperature to use to prevent lens distortion and more. Neil and Ricci's photos are excellent.

COURSE: How to: Filters

Neil and Ricci explained about the different graduated and neutral density filters which can be used to great effect on landscape photography in particular, and provided a number of useful tips for the settings required to achieve the desired effects.

Something very new for me

RATING: 4.8 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: Nikon School Live: Macro Oil and Water

I joined the course as this was a new area for me and I came out of it thinking about creating abstract stills and motion. The course set up was simplicity - I am glad I did not "try it at home" during the two hours as I would have made a mess and missed things. The simple things often work best, and Neil's demonstration showed how easy it is to be a creative. Ricci gave good support whilst Neil crawled around and overall it was an entertaining and informative session.
