I love these monthly evening online chats. Hearing about new products when released and learning new skills and getting new tips, not just from the experts but from other members on the group. I learnt something new this time after asking for some advise and tried it out at the weekend and it seemed to have worked.
Please keep these monthly chats going as I feel the Ricci and Neil are fantastic, knowledgeable with a great personal touch, especially as I met Neil this year at Bempton.

An amazing experience with the red squirrels in a beautiful location. The whole set up is brilliant but the reflection pool has to be my favourite. The weather was rainy but cleared out later and I achieved some fantastic reflection shots and had a very close encounter with a little nut cruncher.
Neil was excellent in helping us all achieve our jumping shots, amongst others. I shared the hides with Rachel Bigsby and she was also a big help with images.

This has been a most useful experience with Neil and Ricci helping out on ways of exploiting the most from the new complex mirrorless cameras and as often the case there are different ways of doing the same thing some have advantages of others and their considerable experience and tips are invaluable
REVIEWER: Neale W.
The day started drizzly and didn't improve but that did not dampen Neil's enthusiasm. We didn't have far to walk to get some very good shots of the deer, due to the weather and lack of walkers/dogs. Neil was always on hand to guide us to the best shots and give advice of post-processing to achieve better images. I'd never have thought about de-haze but it's made a big difference to my images.
A really enjoyable weather despite being soaked through and I'm already thinking about next year!
REVIEWER: Sharon F.
Really good day. Weather was rubbish, poor light and then started to rain, which gradually became heavier. On the positive side, there were fewer visitors to the park, so the deer were very easy to find. Neil was brilliant! Good fieldcraft skills in tracking and getting in front of the herds and very helpful in making suggestions on what camera settings to use in poor light. Thoroughly enjoyed the course, well done.

My first Nikon School experience was truly rewarding! Ricci and Neil, the moderators, were exceptional. They not only answered all our questions with enthusiasm but also made sure to create a welcoming environment for amateur photographers like me. Their genuine passion for teaching was evident throughout the session. A special shout-out to Rachel Bigsby for inviting me. I'm already looking forward to attending more sessions in the future !!
REVIEWER: Arthur C.
Brilliant, knowledgeable and easy to understand course conducted and coached by two top Nikon experts. Many thanks and good luck. The Nikon future is bright.

I like that there are two hosts and its good to see difference in their views at times. Generally, this is a very helpful course for new Nikon users like me. I enjoyed the session.
REVIEWER: Ramchandra K.
Good location and plenty of deer to shoot close to the meeting point, latter party due to inclement weather and lack of dog walkers. Good introduction on lenses and camera settings for the shoot. Lots of suitable Nikon kit to loan if needed. Misty and rainy conditions were challenging but turned out better than I expected. Got some good shots despite the conditions. Good debrief and Q&A time later over coffee.
REVIEWER: Stephen P.
Firstly, the course concept itself it's great, a live Q&A which helped a lot of people including myself. Neil and Ricci were also very patient, they answered every question in detail and if you still had a doubt they would explain until you had a clear idea. Their knowledge is very good, they answered both gear and practical questions in a way that everyone would understand and also gave useful tips. Overall, it was a very nice experience and I can't wait for the next session! 100% recommend it
