    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.

    I had a great experience at Juan?s photography workshop in St. Pete. Juan is very friendly and knowledgeable, and he explains things in a way that?s easy to understand. As a beginner, I learned several things that I?ve already started applying to my photos. I really liked that he taught the theory first and then took us outside to practice. Highly recommend!

    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.

    There?s nothing like the chase for a great sunrise In Tampa. This morning the water was calm and the sky was a beautiful orange I wanted to make sure the Pier was also incorporated into the photo and although it was not the usual composition or angle I go for the shot actually turned out great.

    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON
