The Lakes has an unrivalled set of locations and this event made the most of them. Expert planning, ideal transport and guidance available on tap throughout.
REVIEWER: Edmund W.
Doesn't get much better than this. The organisers knew the best locations, the driver knew how to get us there without any hassle and there was expert support on hand throughout.
REVIEWER: Edmund W.
A good start with landscape photography, where equipment and technique were explained and then practical sessions to implement them.

This was the third time I've attended the dog photography days at the Kennel Club so that speaks for itself. We got fantastic weather and could shoot outdoors all day. My main reason for attending now was to build my portfolio and I am very happy with what I got - lots of great pics of wonderful dogs and some really special shots. Neil is an excellent trainer, with a deep knowledge of photography (dogs and lots more) and of Nikon equipment. Will I return for more? Definitely
REVIEWER: Michael David M.
The event was very well organised and coordinated especially with the cliche of “never work with animals”. Neil explained, for each dog breed how the session would flow as well as reasoning for positionings for the photographers to get the optimum images and things to avoid ie backgrounds.
REVIEWER: Lawrence K.
This was a really fun and interesting day, with lots of different dog breeds to photograph, lenses to try out and the instructor Neil was really knowledgeable and helpful. I really liked how the information was so camera specific, being a Nikon run class, and the advise about composition, and techniques for panning and tracking the dogs were very useful. I'm really pleased with some of the photos I came away with.
REVIEWER: Lottie M.
This is my first attempt at photographing dogs and it was amazing. During the day I got to test out the lenses that I intend to buy as well as getting a good look at the new 850. Great day
REVIEWER: John D.
The course was fantastic. got to try out several types of lighting and also learned to recreate some classic poses.
REVIEWER: Aaron B.
I benefitted greatly from attending this course. It did not matter what kit you had- mine was a D5200 .
I learnt a lot from this course never having used a manual setting before or made proper use of my remote control.
Neil and Ricci are extremely knowledgeable and with their help I got some great shots! I now have a better understanding of composition
I also learnt about the best settings to use, which lenses to use, the use of filters and tripod height.
REVIEWER: Ian L.
Great content, great trainer, great models (2 couples), great location and I left with some quality images and lot's of information to use!
