Tour Testimonials

"Hi Mark, thank you to Matt and yourself for putting on such a fabulous day! Not only did I get some great photographs on the day but I discovered many new locations and ways to view the city of Sydney. I also learnt a great deal about some of the finer points of photography - in particular the filters information was a great help along with revising technical info and then applying that specifically to landscape photography. Lunch was superb - so much food - and I really enjoyed being able to chat with yourself and the other participants about different aspects and perspectives of taking photos. Its always great to be challenged by different perspectives and ideas.

My favourite location was definately sunset at Milson's point, I got some amazing photos and I have become addicted to the weather forecasts to try and better predict the weather conditions for a shoot. I had a ball and would definately recommend the photography tour to others. Thank you so much!"

Tour Testimonials

"Thanks so much for a fantastic day on Saturday. I saw parts of Sydney I didn’t know existed (most embarrassing – considering I’m a local resident!!!) Seriously, Suzy, you did a fantastic job looking after us all. Mark, your photography knowledge was extremely valuable… I learnt more from you in a few hours than I have in 2 years… and thanks for helping me understand the new camera as well. Love the photos I got…I have certainly improved just with the day. Will definitely be on some more photography tours with you... keep those newsletters coming."

- Julie York, NSW

"Hi Mark and Suzy, My overall enjoyment of the Sydney tour was very high, fabulous! The highlight was definitely learning about landscape photography and meeting some lovely people as well. Sydney harbour was my favourite location, it was brilliant! The personal photography tuition was just great, I never had to wait more than a few minutes for Mark to be available, and the help was spot-on and there was no rush, so my follow up questions were all answered too. Everything I learned on the photo tour I am now building on! You opened so many doors! I'm stoked!"

- David Bourke, VIC

"Thank-you Mark and Matt for a great day of photography. I enjoyed it very much. Good information, good company, some laughs and a great feeling of achievement at the end of it all! I learned a great deal, I met some interesting people and found myself in parts of Sydney that I had never seen before. I also took some photographs that just would not have emerged from my camera had it not been for all these things coming together on the day. I also appreciated the organised lunch stop. It made for great conversation, a nice break and the food was beautiful. Great choice! I found the technical photography sessions very important. Not only because of the information you provided but in the way we all could participate. You have a good way of facilitating the photography discussions. I didn’t feel like I was being lectured at. I also appreciate the notes you provided. I have been though these again since coming home and will use them as an ongoing resource. "
