    We had a really good morning with Antonia. She was very helpful on camera set up for macro photography. She gave us good subject ideas and really encouraged us to think more about composition, angles and light "It's too easy to just point a macro lens at object and applaud your results".

    Antonia was a great host and a very knowledgeable photographer. There were only four students, so she was a to give each of us attention. I had never used anything but auto mode before the session; by the end I had learned the basics of manual mode and the relationship between the triangle of ISO, shutter speed and aperture. I thought it was well worth my time and money.

    Really liked how Antonia run the workshop, providing initial input and advices at the beginning of the session to set the context, giving space for photographers to explore areas and try ideas while she checks on field works and suggest guidance. I will definitely attend more in the near future.
