moutain gorilla holidays PHOTOGRAPHY & WRITING BY IAN WOOD

"A great day ... I learnt a lot about my camera in a very laid back, relaxed and enjoyable way and surprised myself how good some of my shots were. Can't believe how much was learnt in just one day ... all I need to do now is practice and try to remember everything !" Gary Jefferson

"After a delightful day with Ian, my camera made sense to me at last !!! I'm feeling inspired about my photography and I'm now saving up to see the orangutans too. " Susan Roberts

"Thanks so much; we contacted Ian before heading on a trip to Norway as we wanted to improve our landscape shots. The advice on filters and post processing has revolutionised the way we take photos." Tim and Cathy

"Good company, uncomplicated photography advice and a fine pub lunch !" Lucy Adams

"Photography explained in a fun way ... with not a nerd in sight !" Claire Stokes

"Ian has a way of making photography simple. I learnt what to use and just as importantly what not to use on my new camera ... and as for composition, it's changed the way I look at potential images." Peter Graham

"I wanted to know how to use a new macro lens that I'd bought and booked a one-to-one day with Ian who suggested an insect safari in his garden - nestled at the foot of the south downs. What an amazing day and what an amazing garden !" Jackie

"I'd never taken my camera off the automatic setting before and in just one day I feel I understand so much." David Murray

"I Just wanted to say what a fabulous day it was on Friday. I have had my camera for a few months but had only been taking pictures in auto-mode. You gave me confidence and explained the relationship between aperture, shutter speeds and ISO numbers in such a simple manner that I feel I finally understand them and how to use them. Thank you for such a inspirational day ! " Hayat Karboub
