Tour Testimonials



"Hi Mark, I had a great time on the tour and really enjoyed the opportunity to share with you your secrets of the Dandenongs and learn from your experience. The locations were fantastic and provided a great range of shooting environments. I would have to say the Alfred Nicholas Gardens were the highlight. It was just the perfect time to be there. Good homework on your part. I could have spent all day there. Just having the time to get out and dedicate the day to photography was very enjoyable and relaxing. I certainly picked up a lot of tips along the way. Overall thanks for a great day. It has inspired me to continue with increased zest and fuelled with greater expectation of perfection. I have moved another step closer to this thanks to you."

Tour Testimonials



"Hi Mark, thanks so much for the opportunity to come on the Dandenongs tour with you. Your technical discussions were great! I learnt heaps from them, especially the one on ISO etc. It has opened up my eyes to the possibilities of photography and given me an excuse to get up early and get the perfect shot. I even tried to get a few before work this week!! I would definitely like to come on another tour the Melbourne one looks ideal. I was blown away by the 6x17 camera that one of the other participants had. I would love to give something like that a go down the track also. Thanks again..."

"

Hi Mark, I've been to the Dandenongs several times, but never visited those beautiful gardens nor a perfect spot to shoot Puffing Billy. Thank you very much for introducing us to those great places and for teaching us to take more impressive shots. I had a great day! While on location it was great to clarify queries such as use of filters and learn better compositions and lighting techniques. The highlight for me was when we set up to shoot Puffing Billy and saw the train coming. It was exciting and we all had lots of fun while disappearing in the smoke :)"
