Pushing photography skills

RATING: 4.8 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portrait Photography

This is the 4th Nikon course I have attended since purchasing a Nikon DSLR, each time with Neil as trainer. I have completed each course with a feeling of accomplishment, inspiration and bravery to experiment and push my photography skills to the next level. Wholeheartedly recommend these Nikon courses.

RATING: 4.4 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portrait Photography

I arrived at the Nikon School and was made to feel at home, we helped ourselves to Tea and Coffee at the beginning and in intervals.
The course was great fun, with practical activities to engage in the basic methods for Photographing various types of Portraiture.
I feel that I am now easily able to apply simple techniques to everyday Photography.

Portrait photography

RATING: 4.8 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portrait Photography

Very interactive and plenty of opportunity to ask question of Neil throughout the day. Really interesting to learn about lighting and how you can manage any situation with speedlights. It was also good to speak to the model about how to work with a subject and get the best from them. Overall a great day.

Great opportunity to photograph London at night

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

I appreciated learning about low-light photography technique in the first part of the course, then having the opportunity to put it to practice by going out and taking some shots of the city at night in a small group. The instructor is a very skilled photographer and showed us some great spots to take pictures. Definitely recommended.

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

Excellent introduction to shooting in Low Light. Neil’s expert knowledge coupled with excellent sites to shoot made the evening really enjoyable. Of course the kind weather also made a big difference.

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

I booked on this event as a means of capturing some icon steam locos in a relatively safe and close up environment. It fully delivered on that, but I got a lot more too!
On top of the necessary safety stuff was a great guide to working with the lights and the re-enactors and our fellow photographers. Encouragement to use Manual mode was valuable as were the hints and tips on composition etc. before and during the shoot. Positive comments and helpful suggestions abound.

Interactive Evening Photography

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

The location and setting was perfect for the evening photography. The addition of actors really enhanced the photographs.

Help was on hand for any settings or advice from the course trainers.

I managed some absolutely fabulous shots with beautiful composure and would fully recommend the course to anybody else.

RATING: 4.8 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

Good opportunities to photograph trains, steam and re-enactors. Very well organised and the people involved were very willing to meet any specific requests. Lots of helpful advice was given too, Enjoyed meeting and chatting with other photographers too!

Didcot Railway Centre

RATING: 4.6 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

Some trains stood earily outside on their tracks, only the glow of Didcot and fast moving clouds to play with and others inside some in darkness and also with artificial light and smoke to add effects along with actors being directed by the team. It was quick paced and you should learn all your settings before arriving to get the best from this training session. Check out all of your kit as lost bits are hard to find in the dark and the coal strewn floor

Excellent evening

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: DECEMBER 2018

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

I thoroughly enjoyed this evening laid on by Nikon and Timeline Events. The setups in the engine shed were really atmospheric and the use of re-enactors added to the mood created by the old steam engines. The group was about the right number - the team kept participants moving so everyone had a chance at each set up. Really enjoyable, and will certainly be looking to do this again if run. Good technical briefing, and Neil was always on hand to answer questions. Highly recommended. Thank you
