After a long delay due to Covid restrictions, David and I finally got together for a Basics for beginners one to one workshop. I thought I knew how to use a camera, but how wrong I was. I could ramble on about how much I learnt, but if like me, you love taking pictures, but are disappointed with the results, then this workshop is for you. David made me a promise at the start of the day, that by the time my workshop was finished, I would never use the 'Auto' setting again on any camera. He was right. I ended the day with some of the best pictures I have ever taken, and a lot of new knowledge. David is a patient man, and delivers the workshop in a very practical style.

It was my first ever 1-1 and I found it a very good day with David. He didn't use his camera all day but concentrated on helping me fill in some gaps in my knowledge. I've been taking photos for years now and wanted someone to help fill in the gaps in my knowledge. He explained the mysteries of hyperfocal and tilt shift focusing techniques to me clearly and with enthusiasm in a way that I could understand, even though it was -1 and icy while we were sitting on limestone pavement on a blustery January afternoon. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.

David thank you for a fabulous day in the Yorkshire dales. I was lucky to get a 1-2-1 session and being new to photography you certainly showed me the basics of what a DSLR camera does, how to use it and how to get the maximum out of a fantastic piece of engineering. You certainly know your stuff and where the best spots are. I had a fantastic day and I really appreciate your patience with my basic understanding, hopefully you will agree I did get the hang of it and took some good pics. For anyone contemplating a photography course or workshop, I cannot recommend David enough. There is no better way than getting out there and getting hands on with a camera in the environment you are going to shoot. I am now planning to book on one of David’s extended workshops hopefully in the Lakes or Scotland now that I have purchased my own equipment. If you are in the same position as I was in terms of not owning any equipment, I would suggest speaking to David who will be able to advise you based on his vast experience. David thanks once again, keep up the fantastic work. See you soon on another workshop.

Thanks so much for the Yorkshire Dales one to one workshop on Saturday, I really enjoyed it. The locations you took us to were superb and the help and advice you offered was excellent. The way the day was split up made it feel like we were there for longer than we really were. I’m just working through my photos now and am really pleased with them. I think we’d both really like to come back up in the Autumn and spend some more time with you doing another workshop. Thanks again for a great workshop and the information you have sent over in the email, will certainly keep in contact and see you later on in the year. Cheers, J Jackson

I have been on a number of photography workshops with David in the Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Wolds and Glencoe which I feel with David’s tuition my photography has greatly improved. David has a in-depth knowledge of the locations we visited which allows you to take some great photos of traditional views and spectacular locations that he has scouted out making your photographs unique. David his an excellent tutor who spends time with all workshop attendees helping where required on the technical aspects of photography for the camera, the use of filters where required etc to the artistic side of photography in composition which he has given me a lot of encouragement and advice. What I particularly like is, his patient when he is working with you and his constructive advice when reviewing your work, David is very flexible whilst you are on workshops and he selects the best locations that can be photographed during the appropriate weather conditions, which can range, big vistas, waterfalls, seascapes, woodlands to more intimate and abstract photographs. He is fully converse with photo editing software such as Lightroom, Adobe camera RAW and Photoshop and he takes time with you to learn photo editing techniques to reflect the mood of the subjects you photographed. I have been very pleased with the images I have photographed on his workshops and he always spends time with you to ensure that you come away from the workshops with photographs you can be proud of along with a set of new skills you can further develop in your own time. I thoroughly recommend David’s workshops to any enthusiastic photographer and I’m and looking forward to attending some more of his workshops in the Lake District, Northumberland Coast and North Wales.

Just returned from a Northumberland workshop tired but having learnt a huge amount. David's style was relaxed but he had plenty of time for one to one for us all. We got up early and went to just the right places to capture spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I returned with armfuls of superb images and a desire to do more. We even covered some non-landscape activities which were different and have widened my interest base.

Well David, I have found time to sit down and thank you for a great day out at Malham in early February. When I say early I also mean early in the morning. The day was absolutely brilliant. You pitched the day just right for my knowledge. I now have more confidence when using my camera on ‘manual’ mode. If anyone wants a great day out learning about landscape photography, book a day with David. All the best David and I hope to share another day with you in the future

I ordered two large mounted prints from David and am thrilled with the quality of the photos and David’s service. The photos arrived carefully packaged and within a week. I had a couple of queries when buying them and he was able to respond to my emails quickly making the service really personal. I have already recommended David’s photographs to friends and I will certainly be back for more prints in the future.

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

Hi David, Thank you for sending the links and thank you very much for a great photo workshop. Thanks for your clear explanations (as I said in the Questionnaire I dislike studying manuals) N also managed to achieve some great photos (actually more than achieved, I am actually ecstatic! – especially with the waterfall but also the Hawthorn tree) we had been hoping to get. Your enthusiasm really helped us to understand the cameras settings so much better. Again – thanks for that! Unfortunately – or fortunately I should say – lots of work was waiting for us coming back, so all I managed up to now is downloading the photos but I did not have any time for editing. I’ll be in touch soon, Best wishes, R & N (Shetland)
