What students say:
I thought the workshop was great. I learned a lot. Especially when your presentation focused (no pun intended) on your explanation of hyperfocal distance and composition considerations. I’ve been to many workshops that have tried to address these topics but yours was by far the best. At the various locations we set up I felt your presence was very constructive. You offered good advice and suggestions of how to visualize the scene and use shutter speed and camera movement to capture the elements. – Howard F.
