Great class, good organization. Steve was able to do "show and tell" mixed with teaching. Very good job, Steve. Thanks. Looking forward to the next one. - John Franco (http://www.meetup.com/FAIR-HILL-MD-NATURE-PHOTOGRAPHY-meetup-group/members/10272094/)

Boy, I learned a lot. I mostly shoot landscape and almost never used flash outside. During this workshop we learned the basics of the flash and magic of lighting with it. A revelation to me was using the camera in Manual mode and letting the flash do the rest! My results were better to what I shot on auto-exposure. Having Steve along on part of the afternoon shoot taught me a lot about bounce inside/outside and how to bring out more texture and depth to objects in flash range. I still have a lot more experimenting to do but I received a good foundation for doing this from this workshop. - Thomas Szewczuk (http://www.meetup.com/FAIR-HILL-MD-NATURE-PHOTOGRAPHY-meetup-group/members/9175610/)

Most of us have a flash attachment but have we really figured out how to get good results from it. This all day workshop went a long way in showing me (and getting me to try) some techniques that will get me improved results. I was impressed with Steve's use of some basic stuff like foil, paper, and gaffer's tape. - Joseph Pasquale (http://www.meetup.com/FAIR-HILL-MD-NATURE-PHOTOGRAPHY-meetup-group/members/10727606/)

Five stars for sure! Excellent class! Steve is really good at both telling and demonstrating to get it all across so one can understand it. - Fuzzy (http://www.meetup.com/FAIR-HILL-MD-NATURE-PHOTOGRAPHY-meetup-group/members/9944098/)

I appreciate the time Steve spend with our group. He has the ability to simply explain the technique through a demonstration so that everyone understands how "magic" flash is. - Jim Haldeman (http://www.meetup.com/FAIR-HILL-MD-NATURE-PHOTOGRAPHY-meetup-group/members/7369214/)
