    It was a wonderful experience meeting great people and learning from them and acquiring skills from experts. I will greatly put what I learned into good use. Ben has helped me a lot, particularly with camera settings. Through his patience and his careful explaining, my camera skills improved a lot. He patiently listened and then explained the topics over and over again, and he made sure I understood it (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). It was my third class with Ben, he is indeed a great teacher and a great photographer too!

    On the evening on the 10th October 2024 we headed out to look for a bridge to photo the Aurora with due to the red alert for activity.We headed to Studley Royal to go to the valley of the seven bridges, however we got distracted by the Aurora show over St Mary's church. We spent two hours taking photos using the tripod in the silence of the night. While listening to owls calling, red deer rutting and watching the night sky dance away with the magic of the Aurora.

    The photo was taken on the rocks near Howick in Northumberland. The conditions for sunrise seemed to suit a long exposure to smooth the water out. Northumberland is truly one of the best places to witness sunrises, we are really lucky.

    It was a bitterly cold morning after a heavy frost, but a nice bright start to the day. The small birds were very active searching for food, by midday the light was just right and this little robin flew right in front of me, then just hovered for a couple of seconds. So pleased with how this picture has turned out. Canon R5mkii and Rf100-500 L. Edited with Photoshop and Light room.
