Alan Ranger PhotographyReviews 

Excellent afternoon Alan very knowledgable

A very worthwhile half day workshop that helped me identify how to improve my pictures and understand how to overcome any limitations of my camera. Thank you, Alan!

A very good day at Batsford. Alan helped to improve my knowledge of how to use histograms to achieve the right settings. He also gave me a better understanding of composition and how to get the best from my camera.

I enjoyed my afternoon. Alan showed us good areas to take our photos and was always available to help or answer questions.
I would have quite liked a bit less time outside and a plenary session inside where we could all have shared our photos.

The small group size means you get 1:1 instructions from Alan, which is ideal for a beginner like me. Alan’s teaching style is relaxed yet supportive - he lets you work out your shots but is on hand to answer questions and offer advice.

Very pleasant afternoon thanks Alan some very useful tips and insights

A good balance of fun and learning. Planned, informative and well structured and as is depth as the individual needs. Would consider attending more.

Another great day with Alan at Batsford. Highly recommended for any budding photographer or for photographers looking to brush up their skills.

Attended 1 day course at Batsford Arboretum. The course offered
A brief introduction and some tips about photography and camera’s
A guided stroll around part of the Arboretum focusing on observation, composition and camera settings required
Image reviews and chat about potential shots the many ways to make the image better
Fun and considered approach to photography, nature and being outdoors.
I now feel more confident of moving away from my DSLR automatic setting by manually setting up my camera myself to achieve a more realistic photograph. Great day and Thankyou Alan!

Had a great day, learnt a lot in regards to camera functions, effects and composition of photographs. A small group enabled Alan to give enough one to one advice and attention

Really enjoyed the course. Alan was very easy going and made me feel at ease. He is very knowledgeable and I picked up lots of tips and learnt a lot so it was a valuable experience. I would definitely recommend this course to others and will be booking on another one soon!

Great weekend in Northumberland, despite the weather on Saturday am.

Thanks once again Alan for all your help - your limited group numbers allow participants to benefit fully from your tuition and knowledge.

It was a very rewarding experience which I always enjoy, I'll most definitely be with you again soon.

I can recommend to anyone

Just back from a 3 day workshop with Alan up in Northumberland - this was the latest of many workshops I have attended plus other mentoring sessions including 1:1 tuition.
I always enjoy my time on workshops etc but this one was particular memorable as Alan cleverly maximised the opportunities presented by the challenging weather conditions (wild and windy). I learned lots about making the most of the conditions and used quite advanced photography techniques - for example, long exposures, bracketing and taking more than one shot to subsequently 'mask' in photoshop. Great too to be out in the environment instead of huddled indoors!

I have been on a workshop with Alan and taken the beginers coarse ,classroom based.
Fantasic and really informative.
I shall be booking more workshops and continue my photography path with Alan.
Also great to meet nice likeminded people from various ages and backgrounds who have the same intent on learning and becoming better photographers , Hopfully i shall see you out there at the workshops..... Get yourself in touch with Alan Ranger you will not regret it!!

Very useful theory and discussion session. Found Batsford a bit limiting for putting learning into practice.

A good class if you want to learn how to compose a good photograph. Knowledgeable teacher who gives good constructive feedback.

Overall I learnt some useful advice on taking photos. However, I think the morning session could easily cover 2 2hr sessions. The afternoon session would be more useful if there had been a plenary session after the practical excersise to discuss the photos taken.

Well paced with breaks for question and answers.
Nicely presented theory suitable for beginners with interesting examples.

Very informative and well explained with good visual aids. Totally inspiring. I will be stepping away from the auto switch!!!!
