“While I have my camera a long time I am still a beginner. I wish I had met Darren and done this tuition years ago when I first purchased the camera. I won’t dwell on it but I have left so many amazing shots behind by not having the basics of the exposure triangle! Shooting from now on should be much improved and the cheat sheets provided after the day will help me reinforce what I learned. Darren was very clear in his instructions and very thorough in his pre work. This made for a really productive and enjoyable day.”
