Mike, I just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoyed the workshop that I took with you. I have read many books and articles and that did not help. I was ready to toss the camera, even after spending so much on it, as I was always getting images that looked horrible.
The first couple of hours on camera settings helped me to "fix" all the things that were messed up with my camera, then the next two hours taking pictures was SO AMAZING!! I loved the different locations in Waterton and your enthusiasm for photography is inspiring!!
I would strongly recommend to everyone with a digital camera, whether they are just starting out or are a seasoned photographer to take one of you classes.

Hello Mike, I was just writing to say that we made it home in one piece and wanted to say once more how much we loved your workshop! As I told you at the course I have been taking pictures for years and I wanted to move forward with my photography but have never been able to do anything.
When I first heard about your course I was scared as I thought that I was not good enough, and my equipment would not be suitable, but after talking with you before the course I was excited. Then during the course you spent so much time with us all helping us to use the equipment that we had it was amazing. I felt like a professional photographer being mentored as an equal and it was GREAT!!!!
I do not know what part of the course I liked the best, the night time class was great (thanks for the use of the tripod), sitting around the fireplace for the morning course was great (I love fires), and the hiking was fabulous (3 hours to cover such a short distance was great as I had time to take pictures and was not rushed).
Everything about the course was way beyond what I expected.
All the best.
