Great session

Arvind_S, May 2026
It was a fabulous three hours walking through the streets and canals of Amsterdam with Mick. I got to learn so much more about the city’s history, and things to do and see as we walked through the streets, talking about photography and shooting good pictures. Got to learn quite a bit more about my camera and shooting good photos from Mick in terms of settings for manual mode, aperture mode and shutter speed mode. I’ve always used the auto mode on my camera, but now will be using the manual mode as it makes a huge difference and gives you greater control of the picture. Good learnings that I will take back with me along with some really good pictures that I was able to shoot with Mick’s guidance. I would recommend this for anyone who loves photography, is visiting Amsterdam, wants to enhance their skills and take some good pictures.

Thank you for the fantastic recommendation! We are thrilled our team could help you make that leap from auto mode to manual mode, giving you the confidence and control to take your photography to the next level.

Fabulous Class … Well worth !!

Judy_N, Apr 2024
Afraid I went to the wrong meeting place but Renzo was easy to reach and promptly connected with us. Renzo was amazing!!! I had no idea about the capabilities of my camera…but Renzo helped me learn how to shoot night photos. I have never been successful with this before tonight! Renzo had me shooting beautiful pictures in short time. I know this was a starter class for me as I will need to grow more in my knowledge and experience but could not have asked for a more polite, pleasant and proficient instructor .. he was wonderful !! Would highly recommend this tour - wish I lived closer to take more of his classes but I was extremely pleased to have invested in this experience! No Regrets!!! Thank you Renzo!
