It was so exciting to share with the vineyard our product made with passion philosophy. Frank the winemaker gave a speech introducing everyone to the night, and then I gave a few words as well.

Everyone gained a lot across the three sessions, and I now have the material and my teaching methods clearly established…so more workshops to follow and more on that soon….so for now, thank you to my… Oh Trish that’s fantastic to hear, thank you! It makes all the difference to have the feedback from you, after all it’s for you that I’m running these courses. The best thing is to see now that you have control over the camera the way that you want to, and that is excellent to hear. Now go forth and shoot! These three sessions have been ENORMOUSLY helpful for me – thanks, Beth! The small group size has meant there was always plenty of time for questions, explanations, demonstrations etc. The banter between the participants was also really helpful – such a great vibe! Everyone was there to learn how take their photography ‘to the next level’ and I think we all absolutely achieved that. I feel so much more confident now about using my camera in manual mode, and I can see how it really is so much better to have that control of the camera. Thank you!!!

Your talent and energy will be much appreciated  Light Metering with a Dominant Light Source Relying on an auto reading from your light meter ends up being a bit of hit and miss when you have chosen to work with a dominant light source. This assignment will get you thinking about where your light is coming from, and how your camera is going…  Framing Do you get professional framing done? If so, where do you go and why? I wanted to offer framing as part of my family story packages. I’ve been selling print-only and was feeling a bit concerned about what people were actually doing with the prints once they took them home. Shock horror, some of…  Good Food Do you love good food made with passion? I crossed paths with Jan Gundlach from Senso Restaurant and Culinary Studio a while back.

Just beautiful. And now, of course, I have to go there for dinner.  Seminar 2 Debrief We had a great session today, in Conquering the Camera Seminar 2.

We then looked at light metering, and started looking at how to…

Trish it was brilliant to have you there, last night I was explaining to some visitors about how i’ve been working with your family for about ten years now, and I realised how amazing this whole thing really is! I mean, the time keeps ticking on and the girls keep growing up and I love that i get to spend some time with you all every so often and capture all that. I’m glad you had a great night, and let me know if you’d like me to join you over at the vineyard for a second look. xx
SUCH a great exhibition, Beth! So many beautiful images, and so colourful! I was really taken with all the colour. Will have to go back and take another look when the room isn’t so full of other people looking! Congratulations!
