Oil & Water DO mix!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JULY 2020

COURSE: Nikon School Live: Macro Oil and Water

What an insightful and practical presentation. I'd never thought about doing this type of photography but having watched this I had a go myself and was pleased with how well the use of an iPad works as back light and source of colour.

Fun way to learn Macro Photography

RATING: 5 of 5

COURSE: Nikon School Live: Macro Oil and Water

If you are looking to learn Macro Photography then this workshop is for you. Have your camera ready along with a couple of bits of wood, clear glass casserole dish, water, olive oil and washing up liquid and either a tablet showing a multicoloured background or some vibrant multicoloured card or wallpaper, as you follow along with Neil he will show you what camera settings to use and also how to edit your photos to bring out the great textures and colours and also answer any questions you have.

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.

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 - Pt. 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.
