David was a great teacher. He taught us how to apply techniques in real time which was more effective for me than watching online videos. I will definitely consider another class in the future.

Title or Location: Leicester, England.
Once a month, or so, I would go into my home town of Leicester early on a Sunday morning to take some photos before there were too many people around. This particular morning there was light rain and the sun was trying to break through. The scene was great but the sky was uninspiring so a better sky was added and then processed in DXO's NIK Silver Efex.The camera was my trusty Ricoh GRIII which has a great lens and small enough to put in your pocket.
