    lacking in participants. The teacher/lecturer knew her stuff which was pleasing. But but lacked in a little bit of confidence. I would give her ?A? for effort.

    I'm sorry more people didn't join in but a class with Julia is always worth the price. I like the way she formats the class with 3 or 4 assignments over the 2 hour time frame.

    It was a lot of fun! Our instructor, Julia, gave us assignments that were specific enough to follow, but left a lot of freedom to interpret creatively. Plus, the setting, in downtown, historic Savannah, was a beautiful place to take pictures. The people, the atmosphere, and the setting really helped with the pictures that I managed to take. I?d recommend the class to anyone interested in learning about photography.

    I very much enjoyed the event. Our instructor, Julia, was very helpful in looking at my photos and giving suggestions on what worked and what I needed to improv upon. I learned a lot from her assignments and enjoyed meeting other people in the class, with similar cameras and interests in photography. I would recommend any similar event of the Savannah Photography Group to anyone interested in learning more about photography and improving their photographic skills.

    This is my second class with Julia. I have nothing but praise for her skill teaching student's with very different experience levels. She is smart, kind, and willing to share her photographic expertise. The course covered what light to shoot in and ways to modify that light, posing, and taking candids of the class and of the people enjoying Forsythe Park. I consider it a bargain at $43.00.

    Every Spring an amazing event occurs in the high rocky cliffs of the Sumburgh Lighthouse, Shetland Islands. The incredible "sea clowns" aka Puffins make their long awaited migratory journey from as far away as Greenland to reunite with their lifelong partner to mate and hatch their young! On my third hike up the to the lighthouse there they were! I was rewarded with the most incredible photographic experience of my life. What beautiful, remarkable creatures!

    I passed this barn nearly every week but it was always around noon miserable lighting every time. I finally went there at 3:30 on a sunny day ( winter) and the light on the metal barn was much to my satisfaction. Shot with a Nikon Z7 and a Nikkor 14-30 at 30mm. I used to do this photography with a 4x5 but this image is sharper still.

    This ground to sky upward lightning was captured on May 1, 2025 near Bandera Texas using a full frame digital Nikon with a 28mm lens. I had the ISO set to 200 and the aperture at F/9 focused to infinity. It is a 30 second exposure. This was a very lucky shot as I had just moved the camera to view this portion of the sky moments before it happened. Although it looks like the lightning is coming from the ground, it's actually emerging from a tall radio tower about 6 miles out. The image is
