Here's what past students have to say about our courses and workshops:

Basic Digital Photography 1-SLR

:: " I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Shane's knowledge and presentation skills gave me more information about the camera than I thought I would ever learn, considering I didn't even know how to turn it on when I came to the first class! Thank you!"

:: "After taking this course I feel I'm not afraid of the camera anymore. Before I was too nervous to change a setting on the camera. Now I am taking pictures, changing my settings and making more adjustments to improve the picture. I still have a lot to learn but you certainly put me on the correct path.Your slide shows really reinforce your lessons and you have a wonderful way of sharing your knowledge. Thanks!"

:: "Really enjoed the course. I'm finishing this course with a lot more interest, excitement and eagerness to put it all into practice!

:: "This course was very well presented and followed a logical flow. Extremely enjoyable and I feel I've learned a lot. Thanks very much!"

:: "This was a great course which re-enforced my previous photographic experiences as well as teaching me many newthings which I did not know. I look forward to taking future courses to further expand my photographic skills."

:: "I can now say I finally understand f-stops and shutter speeds. Overall, I gained not only a lot of knowledge on how to use the camera and its features, but I learned more about photography and how to take a better picture. The course has a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone felt comfortable to ask whatever question they wanted."

:: "Altogether a wonderful course and a great learning experience. Thanks a million!"
