Hello Ian, Thank you for a fabulous photography day last Thursday. I was thrilled when Mary asked me to join her on your course. You are a fine, patient teacher, with loads of experience that shines through, along with that wonderful personal passion you have for your art. I loved that you were flexible in taking us to two different places for 'the shoot' . encompassing the beautiful bluebells in the old wood, and then the Elan Valley reservoir with its perfect reflection. I also loved that you gave us two beautiful prints of the photos we took as a keepsake of a magical day. You have made me appreciate that you don't need sophisticated equipment to take a good picture rather some applied knowledge of composition and light; that has been most helpful. With appreciation , kind regards, Pat P.S. I looked up the birds we saw with their quivering tails in flight - they are Redstarts, courting. Weren't they a treat?
