• 4/5 from Rosemary Kelly, attended Mar 2025: Paul was great. So much info to take in - so lots to work on from now on
• 4/5 from Donna Cowie, attended Mar 2025: Fun class, knowlegeable teacher. Outdoor and indoor places visited to take photos. Would have liked a couple more options/places for taking photos for more variety, eg. Federation and Flinders street station may have been great places. The last part where we used the snapseed app was a little rushed through. Overall a good introductory course on using our smart phone cameras/photos more effectively.
• 5/5 from Elise Labuschagne, attended Feb 2025: Fun and informative!
• 4/5 from Helen Wood, attended Feb 2025: The class was interesting and engaging! The teacher was enthusiastic and encouraging, and shared his very obvious skills very generously. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was a leaning toward the post photography editing, rather than the photography itself. That may also be (my) age, and not being quite as comfortable with technology. Having said that, I learnt a lot about the features of my phone, and what to look for when I am composing a photo.

• 4/5 from Kathryn Wilson, attended Jan 2025: I enjoyed Tania's approach to teaching, working to ensure we all know how to use the particular tips and tools. I enjoyed the varied locations and the lighthearted approach.
