Alan Ranger PhotographyReviews 

Excellent starter course - well worthwhile.
Will be signing up soon for the next stage.

Great event for beginners. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Just finished the get off manual class. Wow! So much was packed into a short session but how Alan explained things made understand each piece was excellent. Really glad I attended and wow what value for money. Highly recommend!

I saw an advert for a workshop I really wanted to do that was cancelled. I was not upset about the cancellation as the reason was due to a change in conditions and the I was pleased it didn't go ahead when there would be nothing to photograph. It then took many attempts to find a date that worked for myself and for Alan.

The details for joining the workshop came a couple of days before the event. It did recommend a filter that I didn't have but it was too late to buy it from Amazon. No real problem through as we did really need it.

The first 15 minutes of the workshop were tuition and I picked up a few very useful tips from the workshop which I will use in future. The rest of the workshop is you photograph the subject and move around the site at your own pace but not too far from the group so Alan can move around each individual and answer questions, review photos and give advice. You are expected to ask questions and learn more that way. I personally find that I don't think of questions until much later when the learning experience has really soaked in. So it would have been good to stop and specifically talk about a topic. I plan to visit the location again on a different day and try again now I have seen my photos.

I will definitely consider booking again in the future depending on the subjects.

Great intro! Can’t wait to take the camera off auto and see what it can really do!

Very informative & friendly class. Just the tuition i needed as a beginer.

Enjoyable,relatively fast paced evening course with plenty of opportunity to ask questions (without being made to feel stupid!). I would recommend this evening to anyone wanting to become more confident in 'getting off auto. Thanks you.

The taster session was informative and well laid out. Alan explained things in a logical, clear and concise manner. I imagine that a student attending Alan's classes would improve their photography skills quickly and in a structured way.

Get Off Auto class was really useful for a complete novice like myself. It was pitched at the right level and Alan was really flexible and happy to adapt the content to meet our needs. Highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend! Easy to follow class, even for those like me who have no real idea on how to use the camera other than to point and click the shutter. Alan helps to explain all the techno jargon

Very helpful for an amateur. Alan explained everything in an easy to understand, yet detailed way and was very helpful with any questions. Thank you.

I was only able to spend one day of the weekend, but Alan made me very welcome. It was my first proper workshop and I look forward to doing more in the future as I came away with lots of ideas and things to think about to take my photography forward - thank you.

Even though I arrived 45 minutes late at Alan's house he still managed to calibrate my laptop and PC monitor, set up and teach me the essentials of Light Room and Nik software and give me lots of very useful hints and tips for editing RAW files. He is a great teacher and I would fully recommend a 1-2-1 session with him which is tailored to each individual. Worth every penny!

Excellent course. Definitely would recommend to all beginners.

Really good workshop!
Really enjoyed all the examples of previous photos!
Alan was very accommodating

A great experience in the south of France with Alan. Alan made sure there was a varied and interesting range of locations to suit everyone and gave us all the attention and tuition we required. A

Thanks for a very informative session on 'how to get off auto'. Lots of excellent pointers and take home messages that I definitely will be using. Approachable and friendly. Only downside is that the class was miles away from the city centre!

Enjoyed the beginner class on photography some very good tips.

Alan is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He covers a great deal in his courses of which I have done two. My reason for choosing Alan was that there is really very little on offer for Adult Education in Warwickshire. I'm not a car owner so I was extremely grateful that Alan was putting his courses on here in Kenilworth.
I really got everything I was looking for with Alan. He gives it his all and you certainly get value for money

A lot of information and detail clearly presented with practical examples and work throughout.
