    I thoroughly enjoyed the event & learnt a lot about this genre of photography. Jamie's passion & enthusiasm for street photography was clearly evident & very inspiring. Jamie was able to discuss camera settings & techniques at all levels from basic through to advanced. He continually made suggestions on how to capture different images on the street with real time examples. Overall I highly recommend Jamie & the Street Photography workshop.

    Punctual and Friendly providing a relaxed start. Was very knowledgeable and had a game plan. Spent time with course members giving individual advice and guidance. Offered suggestions on camera settings and techniques. Also suggested possible photo opportunities. At this point (2 days after event) I would consider another course date. Now waiting on follow up information. Hence 4 and not 5

    Patiently waited whilst the elephants massed on the river bank. The Matriarch started to move and the herd followed. This lucky capture from the Lowe Sabie bridge is iconic Africa for me. We are blessed to send some time here to experience the wonders of nature. The KNP covers an area greater than the country of Wales. A wildlife photographer?s paradise.

    I was looking for Whimbrels, or other migratory shore birds when I spotted this common tern flying around. At some point it dove and caught a fish. I instinctively aimed my camera and took a few pictures before flying away.
