    A great insight into the art of street photography. Giuseppe?s passion and experience shone through giving the feeling that taking photos of everyday life is a natural thing to do. I could have spent the whole day with him.

    I was fortunate to find myself the only attendee, so I got all the attention tailored to exactly what I needed! Which in my case was a very basic intro - perfect, spot on opportunity, and so good to have such "aha!" moments and have my camera demystified! Giuseppe was lovely, patient and clear. I look forward to another session once I've got some practice under my belt.

    Excellent. I was lucky enough to have a one-to-one session with Gianluca who gave me many helpful tips to develop my street photography. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful, good at explaining as well as listening to me.

    Title or Location: Norfolk broads
    Very lucky to get this shot of a juvenile kingfisher on the Norfolk broads just right time right place. This one looks like a young male although it can be hard to tell when they are so young. If you look at the feet they are brown and also the white tip to the beak are indicators of age adult kingfishers have orange feet. The way to tell female from male a female would have a redy orange part on the bottom part of its beak.

    Title or Location: Cromer Windmill.
    Normally visit the Windmill a few times during the year, over the last few years Sunflowers have been in the field opposite the Windmill and I like taking photos of the Sunflowers with the Windmill in the background. This particular photo I put the drone up and and took the photo just above the Windmill I was going to try and take a few more Drone photos but I was getting a warning about the wind strength so I stopped taking photos with the drone.

    Stumbled across this quaint little neighborhood park while driving around one day during my stay in Dunedin, FL. San Jose Park isn?t very large in size but it?s big on it?s view and peacefulness. It was such a great, quiet place to end the day and just be with your thoughts and relax while watching the sunset.
