    Mike was very patient and incredibly knowledgeable. Based on weather we moved to an indoor location which even if the weather would have been perfect was a much better option for this beginner class. As true beginners, we really needed to learn important foundational information to help us be successful.

    Robert Bonsall is very knowledgeable and experienced in photography. He did an excellent job explaining the basics of digital photography to our group. He was patient, and addressed all of our individual questions. I look forward to begin experimenting with Aperture Priority on a variety of photography themes. I may enroll in more of his photography classes in the near future. All of my learning expectations were met.

    That was a beautiful evening at City Island, Harrisburg. I have visited this place several times and was looking for the perfect moment for a picture like this. There were not too many people around the bridge as well. So glad that I got the ambience I was looking for. I spent almost 2 hours in the area and got 100 pictures with my Nikon D800.

    I struggle with sleeplessness daily, and when I took this picture was sinking into to dark places in my mind. Regrets -The hope of a coming light in the morning is my hope of my Savior - Jesus In my youth, I would sell myself lies. In these later years, they have followed me here. Sleepless nights, which allows me to calculate the wrongs.Sleepless nightly, I am caged by my fears, These regrets seem to rape my mind over and over,but still, no tears seem to come to reliev

I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON
