My husband and I recently joined David Westfall for a photography tour in Sedona. Neither of us are experienced photographers and had to rent cameras, as we don't even own a camera with manual settings. Prior to the tour, David provided links to a few videos about basic camera operation and manual settings, so that we had some understanding of some basics prior to the workshop. Then after picking us up for the tour, he went over those things again. He did a great job explaining things in a way that was easy to understand and he gave pointers along the way. We went to 3 different sites. I liked that he gave information and pointers but then turned us loose to see what we came up with. We went from knowing very little about using a camera with manual settings, to being pretty comfortable using the cameras. We ended up getting some great shots. I now know I want a better camera and to try some to the same techniques here at home. I feel excited about it.
Also as part of the tour, David served us a great lunch consisting of meat and cheese wraps, a homemade orzo salad and other snacks. We were asked prior to the tour what kind of wrap and drink we would like to have.
All and all, it was a great tour. David has a fun and friendly personality and is a natural teacher. We learned so much! I now feel excited about continuing to use what I learned and learning more. If it works out we may even book another tour at another location.
