Being fluent in Japanese, well experienced and practiced in Japanese ways, made the cultural and historical briefs informative, interesting and authentic. Photographic styles included landscapes, cityscapes and street imagery. Highly recommended and, by the way, suitable for both digital and phone camera users.
We visited Victoria State Library extremely interesting spot for a Photographer
Why I only give 3 scores is because I had hoped we were to walk more around in Melbourne to use our camera’s and get some photos. We did at the end which was very good. Thank You.
I have to admit, it was pouring down, which had to be taken into consideration, when the tutor planned the afternoon. So close to 4 scores. I will do another Photography Tour when the opportunity occur.
The fun is begins the day before course start with choose the subject's flowers and shape of ice The course was very easy-to-understand because Alfonso is very flexible and use easy-expression. I learned not only how to take good pictures but also edit functions on my smartphone which can be use for any of photos.
I attended this course with my 87years old mother who never zoom course before and she also loves it!!
Thanks to Alfonso
My mother and I recommend to this course to all the generation.
Alfonso had some excellent tips on creating the perfect shot and the subjects were varied, including architecture, landscape and portraits so it was a good all around introduction.
Alfonso is also very knowledgeable.
The Rocks is a great location as the scenes are varied. I walked away with some great photos!
