    Rahul is a young but learned, witty and friendly person, fiercely intelligent and knows much, much more about cameras and photography than I do. He was a consumate teacher for the session. I learnt some new techniques (and so did he!) A great walk around Northampton with many photographs taken and experimenting with new ideas. Rounded off with a coffee and a chat in my favourite cafe! What more could anyone ask? (An ND filter would have been useful and I will bring one next time)

    It was a friendly relaxed session. my first time attending one, so I wasn't sure what to expect. There was guidance if we wanted, but I enjoyed the process of being led somewhere and then creating my own images. I enjoyed having a purpose for the 2 hours and being in the company of others with the same interest.
