    I felt it was worth the money spent. I Learned about light and actually shooting in bright light and how to overcome shadows I don?t want. The instructor gave plenty of time and asked quite often if there were any questions, very knowledgeable and fun

    Had an excellent evening. We could have gone on for hours. Really enjoyed the question and answer session and to hear how the others in attendance do their thing. I would do it again just for the experience and guidance.

    Title or Location: On the Island of Kauai at a very popular swimming area on the Eastern shore of Kauai
    While taking a break and enjoying the gorgeous weather, we decided to take a break from tourist to relaxing in this swimming area. The area is secluded from the Pacific Oceann by a manmade barrier for the safety of the swimmers. Image with Canon EOS 5D w/ Canon AF28-105 EOS LENS. 100 ASA, 1/250 sec. At f11. Gorgeous day.

    Title or Location: Churchill Manitoba Canada
    Portrait of an Arctic Hare on 3/6/2026 in Churchill MB Canada. While there were multiple feet of snow on the ground, the wildlife that we saw was amazing with their resilience to the climate. I was fortunate to watch this beauty grooming himself for a good bit of time and caught one of the best portrait's I've taken of wildlife. Photo was taken with Canon R5 Mark II 100-500mm canon lens. Exposure 1/125 seconds, f 7.1, Iso 100, focal length 500mm.

    I saw about 60 wild horses about a mile away and walk with them for an hour & 1/2. Some decided they needed a refreshing drink. It was worth standing in the muck & mud to capture this.Mt Rose & Slide Mountain in the background.
