Alan Ranger Photography Reviews 610

A great day even if I did run out of electric in both my batteries. I was still learning just by being there. Alan is a great tutor.

Enjoyed the afternoon. It would have been even better without so many people at Batsford on a sunny half term holiday Sunday but that was hardly Alan’s fault!

Great day, loved the atmosphere of take youre photos and Alan was available if required for questions and critique. He had example photos for the participants to look at, for reference, which I found useful. Overall brilliant.

Good points - weather was fantastic, tuition good but you do need to ask Alan for help which I don't have a problem with. Some fantastic areas to photograph. We went to various locations so that everyone could get something including a lovely sun rise in Craster so time management was essential and Alan was flexible throughout the weekend adjusting the timetable so that we got the most out of the time we were in Northumbria. Restaurant on the Friday night was a good choice, nice food, also the fish and chip shop on the Friday excellent and good prices.

Not so good - hotel looked very nice from the pictures, but hygiene was a big issue for me, mouldy bath mat which got changed once I asked, and there was mould on the shower panel it is in need of refurbishment, bedroom furniture MFI quite flimsy. I understand why Alan has selected it as it was conveniently located but they do need to address these issues I am sure he will feed back to them as its in an ideal location.

A well organised shoot, expert advice when needed. Despite weather problems Alan found alternative sites and had a flexible approach.

A fantastic three days in Norfolk with Alan. The weekend was planned really thoroughly to ensure we had a great selection of locations and spent a minimum amount of time in the car - although the agenda was flexible enough to move things around to suit conditions and the preferences of the group. Alan was always on hand to help with our pictures re settings, composition and equipment and would show is what he was doing as he was shooting as well. Accommodation and food stops all very good too. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend that has really helped with my photography

We really enjoyed this photowalk in a little wood we would otherwise not have found. There were only 3 of us, and Alan, as 2 others had had to cancel, which made for a very pleasant session. We picked up a few tips and have some interesting photos as a result. A good way to spend a morning!

Excellent tuition and location

Great location. Struggled with the composition and settings but did receive some help and managed to come away with some reasonable images.

Very knowledgeable teacher who was happy to answer questions no matter how simple or silly.

Throughly enjoyable evening and I learnt quite a few things about my camera...bring on the next 4 lessons.

Excellent guidance and advice. Good briefings pre and post shoot. Clear joining instructions Would have appreciated more time one on one as when you get it it’s worthwhile. Acknowledge that’s hard in a group though.

A great few informative days With Alan in Wales on a workshop. Alan managed to find places to photograph despite the dreadful weather. Will definitely book to go on another workshop.

Alan Ranger provided a very comprehensive and concise theory and practical training package for our group. I was able to take what I learned away from the course and make immediate improvements to my own macro photography.

An enjoyable day with some good technical advice. I would have liked more time on the practical in the field and this would have allowed more one-to-one guidance.

Alan provided an excellent introduction to SLR/bridge camera photography with good examples.

I found Alan to be highly a competent tutor, easily approachable, knowledgeable and patient. An enjoyable and engaging experience.

Excellent balance between theory and practical with level of detail of instruction to suit varying levels of expertise in the group
Timings of session just right and good sense of humour!!

Alan has a really good style of delivery, able to teach to a mixed ability group all at the same time. His teaching style is relaxed but assertive. He certainly has a very extensive knowledge of his subject.
