Christoph Zwolinski • Mar 2021
Peter Gidney is really excellent teacher. He had been great explain more how use better picture with mobile.
Fiona Lerk • Feb 2021
the teaching was excellent with good tips for better photos and introduction to an app to enhance the photos
Norm Crowley • Feb 2021
Tutor, Peter, presented a wealth of photography experience and knowledge to our small group of six that allowed group interaction and one to one advice (in a COVID safe way).
Discussion progressed through the basic (but often unknown) smartphone features, many of the 10 aspects of composition and then included many of the skills of enhancement to present a resultant image that would impress any Social Media user.
Further comments on control of ISO and exposure settings together with commentary on still life, abstract and landscapes, (in addition to the street portraits and architecture) would enhance the presentation.
A session outcome that has certainly changed my 'click and hope' photography to give me the awareness of a better 'click and presentation'
