    Second time for the same classs.... I learned many new important information. I had just purchased my first flash for this class. However, my flash was not compatible with my camera. It was well worth to come the second round. David is very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. Maybe I will come a third time .... this time with the right flash. Highly recommend this class. Thanks David.

    This was a very good class. David covered the material and explained the basics needed to use my camera in a manual mode. The class small and we all got a lot of attention. David encouraged us to ask questions and was able to explain in terms I understood. While my camera will do far more than I will probably ever need or attempt, I will be taking more pictures in the manual mode, understanding better how many of the settings work.

    The class was very good. David was able to explain in simple terms the lens settings, the rule of thirds, and picture affects with the different settings. He went over the basic information and was very patient. He made sure he answered all our questions. Then we took photos and returned to review them. He again answered all our questions. I would recommend the class, well worth the money.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.

    Title or Location: The photo of this handsome grasshopper was taken in my front yard garden in Orange County California
    When you get a new camera, all you want to do is go out and shoot. You don't need a fancy vacation or an exotic destination. My front yard garden made for a perfect wildlife opportunity and this handsome little guy was all in, with his patience, his stillness and his willingness. Who could resist a photo-shoot with a face like that :-)

    Title or Location: Huntington Beach Central Park, CA.
    This is the Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus), a small, strikingly colored bird known for the male's brilliant red head and underparts. True to its name, this bird is strictly carnivorous, primarily feeding on small flying insects. It is often seen perching on exposed branches, darting out to catch prey mid-air before returning to its perch.It is very interesting to photograph this bird.Photographed on April 24th, 2026, at Huntington Beach Central Park, Orange County, CA.Camera

    Title or Location: London Eye England
    I took this picture as a quiet metaphor for life.The wheel rpresents the circle of life: rising, reaching its height, and slowly descending. The sunset suggests the end of the journey, not with fear, but with beauty and dignity. The reflection in the river is like old memoriessoft, blurred, but still alive.In that moment, I felt I was not photographing London, but time itself: life moving in a circle, the day coming to an end, and the past glowing gently in the water.
