Dear David, The Acrylic panel arrived on Monday thank you, as scheduled. I am very pleased to say that the picture has even exceeded our aspirations! It is a very vibrant and colourful print and the acrylic mounting format is stunning, and will act as a vivid reminder of a trip we had there last year on a bright sunny day. My normally difficult to please partner (who it was a late Christmas present for) described it as the most beautiful picture she’d seen. I was initially concerned about the very high-gloss finish acting like a mirror, as the location we bought it for is on a reflection line next to our living room bay window. I ordered this finish, following your initial suggestion, mainly as the canvas version wasn’t available in my favoured size. However, the appearance when viewed from other angles in the room and in artificial light, more than makes up for any surface reflection issues. We have an existing ceiling spotlight located directly above it which further helps to enhance it in artificial light. Many thanks for your assistance and advice during my order. 36"x24" Acrylic Panel

A great day out leading to a lot more confidence! My husband booked the beginners' workshop for me and I was pretty nervous, as well as excited, about it. I shouldn't have worried! David uses a pre-questionnaire to gauge your experience- I joked to friends that the only question I was confident to answer was the one about the camera itself - but it turns out, I was wrong about that as well! So you can understand that I was a total beginner! But after a quick chat and some camera basics, we were off and photographing! We visited great locations, I learned how to put the discussions into action and it was easy to experiment and see the impact of making changes. After lunch, David encouraged me to start experimenting myself with the choice of subjects, which felt great. I came away, with my expectations more than met, some great pictures and the understanding and enthusiasm to take my new hobby to the next stage. If you are considering one of David's courses, go on, give it a go!

Hi David. A big thank you for the one-to-one course held on the East Coast on Wednesday. You started with really basic help on manual shooting and helped me understand what my micro four-thirds is capable of. Much more than I thought, and I can't wait to keep practicing non-automatic images!! We had amazing weather, but your knowledge of the tides and the timing of the sunset set me up for some beautiful sunset shots that I didn't think I would be able to get. You have really fired my imagination with your references to patterns and lines, and I can't wait to get the tripod out again in Scotland next week. Thank you very much. Sue.

Hi David Thanks for the links and attachment. I was with the gang who paid for the day with you today. I showed them the images on my laptop (quickly blended and minimally worked on in Photoshop) and they were very impressed – as am I! They’re the best images I’ve ever deliberately (as opposed to accidentally) achieved. It was a brilliant day as far as I’m concerned (even with the soaking!). I’m going to work on the images in photoshop and then post them online. I’ll definitely send you a link so you can see too what we captured. I don’t know when I’ll get chance though as I’ve been loaded up with lots of work to do today, so it might be a while as I want to take my time over them and experiment with the raw files. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening day – I learned lots! All the best Lynne

June 2021. I have just returned from my first 1-2-1 tuition workshop with David in Swaledale. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, the advice, information and guidance offered by David in his relaxed, unpretentious manner. We visited some beautiful locations, and he left me with tips on where else to visit, which I did the following day with a new-found confidence in my photography. Thanks to the tuition I feel that I am now in charge of the camera, rather than it in charge of what I take. I am now about to book further workshops to develop my skills further.

I have attended two workshops and just completed a series of one to one zoom sessions. Invaluable experience for me and I am 100% sure that anyone wanting to progress their photography, at whatever level, can only benefit enormously from time with David. Always attentive, thorough, patient and of course with a wealth of knowledge and expertise it is a real pleasure to learn with David. First class service. Consistently superb! Thanks David.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Glencoe workshop and spent the 4 days with lovely company. We had some pretty wet weather to contend with but David always found somewhere for us to shoot. I finally learnt how to get the best settings out of my camera. David was very patient and very knowledgeable. The areas he took us to were stunning and I got some stunning photographs. I cant wait until I can do another workshop with him

Great day. Dave was really patient and looked after me totally (despite being a Londoner who had never been near a Yorkshire Moor before and made a drama out of the dark and the weather!) I used what David showed me the very next day and my photos were great. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

I imagined that on my first workshop it would be mostly showing me how to work the camera and use manual setting, de-mystifying focus, iso and exposure. This was the case but alongside the technical aspects of using a camera I was also getting a lot of information about how to look at landscapes. I had no idea how to see an image. David showed me how to make the best of an area and I came away with an image I now have on my wall. I have been on several trips with David now, from the Yorkshire coast to the Wolds from a hike up the hills to exploring a waterfall. David is patient and knowledgeable, he makes you see in a different way. Generous with his knowledge, and locations. David has helped me see there is much more to learn and he has a passion for the landscape that is infectious. I have learned more in a day with David than I have reading loads of books on landscape photography. There is no substitute for getting out there and wrestling with the conditions presented to you by nature and no better companion than David to show you the way. Michael White

We are pleased to be associated with David Speight Photography and have recently received two exceptional pictures, shortly to have pride of place in our offices. No doubt we will fill more space by selecting from Davids collection, particularly since a lot of his work reflects the local landscape in a beautiful part of the country. Equally important is his choice of frame which enhances the quality of the picture and his workmanship in particular. Our business is based around high quality product and we wish to portray that throughout the factory and offices – David’s work perfectly fits in with that ethos.
