A first-class course – I attended because, as a landscape & wildlife photographer, I wanted to challenge myself to try something new.
The day was excellent, with great tuition from Ricci, who really made the complexities (to me, at least!) of the Creative Lighting System seem easy to understand. Lots of practical examples & set-ups really enabled the participants to get to grips with the subject.
Big thanks to Ricci, and also to our fab model Raffy, who was incredibly patient with us all!!

Ricci our course trainer gave us a brief introductory talk and went through camera settings and what we could expect from the day. We also had the use of various lenses and camera bodies which we could try throughout the day. We were taken to various locations in the grounds and got to photograph many different birds throughout the day. Despite the weather it was an excellent days photography. I came away with some good shots and improved knowledge of my camera settings. Would recommend

Neil and Ricci were absolutely brilliant, the course format, organisation and logistics were excellent and I learned a lot of useful tips, tricks and ideas. This has inspired me to make better use of my equipment and try new things after over 30 years of photography. The bonus astrophotography opportunity was also brilliant. Excellent value for money and I think I'll be signing up for more courses in the future!

Had lot of chances to take the birds flying.despite rain in the afternoon. Neil and Ricci were available for questions and advice all through the day which was very helpful. I had a chance to try the D850 and the 200-500 telephoto which helped my decision making for buying equipment .
REVIEWER: Charles M.
Though the afternoon was wet, with some quite torrential rain, this didn't affect things too badly, as the plans were amended "on the hoof". We were fortunate that the rain held off for as long as it did! The Nikon guys did a great job at keeping things flowing, and assisting with any technical queries, as well as offering some great guidance. Overall I was very pleased, and shall return on another Nikon day.

A very warm welcome and introduction to the day. Presenters were vey knowledgable and covered many issues to help us get the best out of our cameras and from the day.
The programme was well planned and presented us with opportunities to use our newly acquired insights with the birds presented by the falconers.
REVIEWER: Reg R.
RICCI IS A VERY COMPETENT LEADER IN TERMS OF HIS ORGANISATIONAL SKILLS, HIS KNOWLEDGE AND HIS FRIENDLINESS WHICH LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR A VERY POSITIVE AND REWARDING DAY OF PHOTORAPHY. THE FACILITIES AT THE HAWK CONSERVANCY WERE VERY IMPRESSIVE AND THEY WERE EXCELLENT HOSTS WITH HELPFUL STAFF WHO IN THE AFTERNOON MANAGED THE INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS VERY WELL.
REVIEWER: Barrie C.
Really enjoyable and well planned day. Falconers very interesting to talk to and helpful, as were the trainer's.
REVIEWER: Rob P.
The location and facilities were excellent and easy to get to.
This course was great if you want to experience or practice capturing birds in flight from large and slow to small and fast.
You can get close enough for a 70-200 or 300mm lens to be long enough.
REVIEWER: Clifford A.
This was an amazing location to shoot seascapes and with Neil Freeman to hand to provide guidance on camera settings and composition, everyone who attended was given the confidence to capture some stunning photographs.
