What past workshop students say…
The class content was informative with great presentation. One on one time for additional questions was helpful as well. Looking forward to the next class!
What an amazing workshop! My comfort level with night photography has increased so much due to the hands-on learning that Barry and Dave provided. I’m signing up for more classes.
I’ve really enjoyed the workshops I’ve taken with Benton Downs. Both of the workshop leaders are engaged, dedicated to keeping the group small and have been exceptionally willing to share their expertise and locations.
