    Brad was very patient. He presented shutter speed, aperture and depth of field f-stops and ISO in a way that I finally understood them. The class size was small which made for very personal instruction. Hands on assignments during the class helped to reinforce the concepts. I am very pleased that I chose this class.

    Instructor (Brad?) was excellent. My teen daughter was in the class and I stayed to keep her company/observe. Brad was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was clear in his teaching and allowed the students opportunities to practice the skills he introduced. He was very willing to answer questions and to help students practice skills to get them closer to their specific goals. I'd definitely bring my daughter to another class!

    We had just finished a trip along the Road to Hana, and Ho'okipa Park is on the way back. We stopped to see if there were any Green Sea Turtles were sunning on the beach. Unfortunately, there were not but we were rewarded with great views of North Maui and the West Maui Mountains. I saw the United Airlines jet in the middle of this picture approaching the runway at Kahului with the mountains behind it and liked how it demonstrated the scale of the scene.

    Title or Location: Maui, HI
    My wife loves sea turtles, and we heard that Ho'okipa park on Maui often has a lot of them. We went, but there were no turtles. I did see this fisherman on an outcropping of volcanic rock and was able to catch him (no pun intended) casting his line. This is on the windward side of the island so the waves in the ocean are pretty high. Also, the wind was blowing mist off the whitecaps so it made and interesting backdrop.

    My wife and I did a whale watching tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation this January. It was a great experience because the whales were very active that morning. In this picture the whale had his tail in a classic pose. Fortunately, I was able to get a good picture of it!

    Was trying to decide which side of bridge to take photo from. This side had the image of the skyline in a good setting under the view of the bridge. Had my tripod with me, I knew that I was going to need a slower shutter speed with the other setting I wanted. Shot in manual mode, iso160 to capture the colors. My f stop was 10 to capture the star effects and good long distance sharpness. The shutter speed was determined to be 10 seconds. Used my 20mm lens so I would not have to stitch two p

    Title or Location: Padova Italy at the Gran Teatro GEOX
    This photo was taken in October of this year at the Gran Teatro GEOX during my photoshoot of the Brit Floyd live performance. I was there to shoot two concerts. One in Brescia Italy, and another in Padova Italy. I regularly shoot Brit Floyd in the US, but this was my first time going to Italy during Brit Floyd?s World Tour of the European leg. It was a wonderful experience.

    Using light and shade to capture the beauty in the harshness of urban industrial architecture. Rekindling a love of black and white photography, I took this photograph whilst on a Brighton Photography Group 'Urban Architecture in Black & White Photography' study event led by Tobias Slater-Hunt. Having spent a winter of dark clouds, rain and dull skies, it was an opportunity to make the most of the year's new beautiful March sunshine.

    I couldn?t sleep on Thursday March 13th, so I took out my camera and remembered there was a blood moon scheduled to appear tonight after midnight. I steeped outside, set up my tripod and camera. It was rather chilly so I grabbed a coat and stood on the patio waiting for the show to begin. Slowly the moon started to disappear. I waited patiently and photographed every phase in that 1.5 hours until the entire moon was covered and the amazing colors started to glow. Truly a beautiful capture as th

    On the snowy morning of March 16th, a Coopers Hawk appeared. His eyes fixated on me making him a perfect model for the pictures, he still managed to scan his surroundings for breakfast.
