Autumn Day at Erddig - A Very Special SLR Part 1 and Part 2 Workshop

The sun shone for us last Saturday and the students took some very special images!

Comments from the two days:-

Dear Jean
Thank you so much for yesterday's Part 2 DSLR camera course. This was by far the best course I have been on. I now feel I have much greater understanding of my camera, its capabilities and limitations. I look forward to taking real pictures in the future and not just snaps. I also look forward to more of your courses next year.
Best wishes Jane

Hi Jean

 Just wanted to thank you again. I enjoyed the workshop so much.

I learnt such a lot and have been practicing and going over everything we did on Saturday, and loving it all.

 Also I looked in my warranty on my exisiting camera and it is still covered, so they told me to send it to them and they will clean it or replace, so all is good.

My new one is on the way too, one day I will move on to a DSLR and hopefuly meet you again for some more amazing instruction!

Kind Regards  Becci

Here are some of the images taken by the students:
