    I went to the event to push my boundaries and expand the scope of what I was doing. David fulfilled that for me, encouraging me to move away from automatic settings and try things in landscape photography that I had not done before. I appreciated that leading and will be better at my craft because of that class.

    At first Dave made me feel comfortable about my limited knowledge of photography not being an issue. He took his time to answer all my questions and I had a lot. I watched him give all the students one on one and took his time. Dave was very knowledgeable and professional. I would take more classes from your group if Dave taught it, any place other than the beach. ie, I'm going to the sunset class next week and again same place different instructor, lets mix it up??? Pls. Anyway, I totally enjoyed that class and meeting new like minded people. All in all If there were more than 5 stars he would definitely get it
