    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.

    Title or Location: Savannah Botanical Gardens
    Post processing saves the day. I was photographing bees when another shooter called my attention to the Katydid. I rushed over and shot 3 or 4 images, forgetting that my shutter was set to deal with the bees. My exposure was 1/2000 of a second at f9... fine for the bees in sunlight but not the shaded Katydid. I had a rather grainy image (ISO 3600) that I fixed in Topaz Photo AI. My camera was a Nikon Z7.

    I was photographing Ibis and Great Egrets and noticed several dragonflies hanging around. All were blue except this one brown one. I was about fifteen feet away when it stoped for a few seconds. This was the result. I used a Canon R6 with a EF300 with 2x extender. Shot at F9.5, shutter speed at 1/750 ISO of 1250
