Thanks, I learned how to operate my camera! So much information shared by Greg. I was on info overload after the 1st day, but on the 2nd day everything made sense. Greg you are a great teacher, your course simplified my camera.

North Battleford, SK

I attended Greg's 1st Photo Excursion trip to the Yukon in 2016 and then attended his Intermediate Workshop in 2018. I have never had so much fun learning how to be a better photographer. I traveled from Ont to take the workshop and I learned more in those 2 days than any of the previous courses I have taken. I will keep trying to step outside of my comfort zone and have fun doing it!

Cindy Crawford
Mississaugua, ON

I was one of the many of amateur photographers who probably believed that the way cameras are evolving, its hard not to take a bad picture, yet not all my pictures were clear or it wouldn't allow me to take a photo because my settings wouldn't allow it. Gregs course simplified my camera to make troubleshooting easier. Greg's course took the fear out of the camera and made it fun shooting with others who had similar fears/problems. Thanks Greg!

Benefits of small group tours

 

Instruction

When you are trying to get the most from your camera, having a pro close by to be your guide is invaluable.

Flexibility

Great photo opportunities are hard to find. With a small group we can change plans or stay longer or shorter at one spot.

Instruction

Every tour we have hosted seems like a opportunity for new friendships in a quiet and familiar setting.
