What can I say, Elliot, that I haven't already said. I think I and the others are enthusiastic because and your helpers are so enthusiastic. I can't imagine anyone not learning a lot from your work shops as long as they have their eyes and ears open. As usual the, site for photographing couldn't have been better, even though it was a bit chilly, nothing you could have done there, of course. I will certainly look forward to other workshops in the future.

 Thank you and your crew very much for giving us inspiration to continue on with our learning of photography.

My best regards,

Wes

Steve Inguanti – WROTE ABOUT THE GREENSPRINGS WORKSHOP on May 12, 2008



Elliot,

I had a great time at the workshop and learned several things along the way.  All of the instructors including yourself are all just so nice and knowledgeable.  I did just sign up for the Rappahannock workshop and I am being tempted by the lilypons workshop too.  I thought you'd like to know that the lens that took a tumble seems 100% ok.  It auto focuses fine and the image quality seems the same as it ever was across the entire frame when viewed on my computer.   I don't even see a scratch on it! 

 I am working on uploading by favorites to my Picasa account and I will send you a link where you can view them.  I had a blast taking pictures yesterday because I've never done macro work after rain like that with the water droplets so numerous.  You really get some unique looking macro shots when you have conditions like that!

The Green Spring Farm photographic workshop was an outstanding learning experience!  You have assembled a great team of very knowledgeable instructors. I really enjoyed myself. The ratio of instructors to students was such that I felt I had my own private tutor: every time I had a question or needed help, someone was right there at my side with the answer.  I received many great tips but the most valuable was the reintroduction to my Nikon D300’s Exposure compensation button and when to use it. I am looking forward to attending some of your other workshops.

Again, thanks for a very enjoyable Sunday morning of instruction and for helping me to meet others who have a passion for photography.

 Elliot,

 Thank you for the great workshop, like your suggestion of underexposing ½ stop to bring out the saturation of the flowers, and Ed’s tip about using the battery grip when shooting in portrait format.  Just my getting hands on (and feet wet) experience was great and to be honest very relaxing.  I did get some Gortex boots and a hat.  I also am planning to check out the Think Tank system at Penn Camera on Saturday after our class.  Just being with other people interested in photography was a rewarding experience.
