    Steve says...very informative and well delivered. I learned a lot about my camera and taking manual photos. It was hard to remain standing for the entire class time, though.

    Brent was a fantastic instructor. He is knowledgable and passionate about photohraphy. He answered all questions without ever making us feel like we asked a dumb question. The River Walk was beautiful, I had never been there before. I am now not afraid of manual mode.

    Planted Zinnias and lots of them this year in my backyard for the butterflies, bees and even hummingbirds. Ive got to see several different kinds and thought this Gulf fritillary fit with this color beyond any other color, Also the position how it landed was spot on for the perfect photo.

    This was one of those shots where you'd rather be lucky than good. I wanted a silhouette of the sea oats at sunrise, and when I went to review the photos later noticed I had captured this bug landing on one of the fronds.

    Probably not the best picture I've ever taken, but definitely one of my favorites. I was brand new to photography and enjoying my cameras so much I was just dying for something interesting to happen around me that I could capture and document. I was walking along the beach in Edisto with my family in October. It was cold and there was almost nobody on the beach except us. Out of nowhere, we heard a lot of commotion a little ways down the beach and were surprised to find this man had caught a li

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
