    Awesome tuition from Anna. We learnt a lot. It was very crowded due to other events taking place and a bit noisy but you go with the flow and appreciated the lively vibe. 3 hrs was probably a little too long for my brain to concentrate but given another less busy night, I might have made it passed 2.5 hrs before wanting to leave for some serenity 😃. Well done Anna!

    I really appreciated Anna-Mair's patience with us beginner photographers. She explained everything so I was able to understand what she was talking about. I especially love creative photography so I loved the light painting and light trails. She also gave me tips on how to photograph my passion outside of the course aswell, which showed She really does invest in what she's doing. I was able to take what I learnt and practice it at home.

As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    It was a bitterly cold morning after a heavy frost, but a nice bright start to the day. The small birds were very active searching for food, by midday the light was just right and this little robin flew right in front of me, then just hovered for a couple of seconds. So pleased with how this picture has turned out. Canon R5mkii and Rf100-500 L. Edited with Photoshop and Light room.
