Interesting perspectives on places that are familiar and especially those not previously seen. Interesting companions and a variety of equipment.

Richard the leader was very good helping those who may not have been up to speed with their camera settings before we set off on a walk around parts of the City of London before finally ending up at Tate Modern. He encouraged us to take photos of buildings from different angles to achieve various effects rather than the standard shot as well as providing a brief history of some of the buildings we were photographing. Weather was perfect which was great for a November day and we had the added spectacle of the Lord Mayor's Show procession. A small group, eight of us, which was an ideal number for a tour of this nature gelled together and we all took something away from our experience.

This was a gift and happened to take place close to where I work but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the course. We all had different abilities and some were new to this part of London but I think we all learned something. I took away some great hints and tips as well as a newfound appreciation for a part of London I often speed through on the way to catch trains or meetings! A great course for newcomers and those wanting some new insights or a new perspective on their photography.
