    I thought this was an excellent class! Juan broke down the most important camera settings in a very digestible and easy to understand format and then reinforced that with some exercises for taking shots using different settings. Would definitely recommend the class and Juan as an instructor.

    This is a very unique island - only accessible by ferry. Partially developed, but lots of more natural areas. An isolated beach at sunset. Used my Canon 50mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/160. Balanced the camera on a beach chair.

    I was on holiday in Sydney and I went to Circular Quay to take some night time photos, when I saw that the opera house was lit up. I took a couple of photos ,then went to change my lens.By the time I had done this I saw the lights on the opera house had gone out. I then realised it was a rehearsal for Vivid a Sydney winter light show which takes place around the harbour.
