    The event was well done. It's small , congenial size -- 4 photographers and 1 guide -- was perfect. Pike Place Market is obviously a visually loaded environment, so there was no shortage of subjects to photograph. The instructor did a great job of distilling the chaos of the environment so we could focus on learning something about street photography. I'd give it a 5-star rating and would consider doing more events of this kind. In short, it was a positive experience.

    I had a great time! Even though I have "advanced" experience it was good to see how other photographers approach the work - the thinking behind the making of a photograph. Ideas for composition were excellent - A,B,C... and I had never thought of holding my camera at waist level. I got several nice shots doing that. Valentina was great to talk to and it is really apparent she takes great joy in photography and sharing her knowledge with others.

    Kevin recovered well from a last minute location change, necessitated by overcrowding at Golden Gardens due to high heat. The Ballard Locks provided ideal conditions and some really wonderful background. Kevin did a great job explaining all of the elements in ways that a near novice could understand and was super helpful and knowledgeable with the hands on aspects that made the class feel very personal! I look forward taking another class with him!

    Good size, good pace. Kevin offered suggestions for seeing compositions but was not insisting we take specific photos. Allowed autonomy to try things discussed. Kevin shared etiquette and explained the 201csocial rules 201d to keep street photography from becoming adversarial. I really enjoyed the class. Kevin understood my unique challenges as I was the only film photographer in the group.

    Loved the event! It was a nice small group of great people. Kevin was a really good leader/teacher! He gave instruction and tips and let us practice and ask questions. I would attend another group lead by Kevin.

    Good discussion with the instructor, he had a lot of ideas and tips for us. It was also a good nudge for me, to get me out trying something outside my normal comfort range.

    Title or Location: In our garage on Eastside
    I use old strobes that are connected to power packs for most of the photographs I take. This was taken in our garage with a grey background, a back light that was gelled blue on a grid (probably 10 or 20 degree). The key light was overhead and perpendicular to the ground - the light would just skim the flower. The strobe was a Profoto Acute2 1200, the heads were Acute D heads. These are about 20 years old and are not expensive used. The grid and softbox were Profoto as well and came wit

    I wasn't sure I would be getting a good shot of the moon that night with all of the clouds that were lingering along the horizon. It popped up for the perfect alignment with the needle at the top of the Space Needle. My favorite part is how the moonlight is shining on the water. This was taken about 8 miles from the Space Needle on Bainbridge Island.

    Title or Location: Amazon World, Newchurch, Isle of Wight
    This photo features the greater 'rhea' which is the largest of all South American birds and is related to ostriches and emus. These flightless birds use their long, powerful legs to outrun trouble. Although their large wings are useless for flight, they are used for balance and for changing direction as the bird runs.I took this photo on Saturday afternoon on 26th October whilst visiting Amazon World Zoo Park, situated in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight. Camera used was a Sony Alpha a7R V with
