With the purchase of a new camera from Paxtons for my upcoming tip to Africa, I really wanted to learn how to use it effectively before I leave. I have attended Joe's basic DSLR course, the city architecture course, and finally the Vivid course which was an absolute highlight. I am now much more confident in using the manual and other settings such as aperture and shutter speed, and got some great tips on composition and artistic aspects of photography. Joe's small courses provided great personal attention and I loved every minute of them - he has a great sense of humour and I intend to go to some more courses in the future, just for the fun of it (and more tips of course).
