    I had the pleasure of attending a 'street photography at night class' recently, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The tutor's friendly and patient approach made learning a breeze. Claudiu's guidance helped me grasp essential techniques and concepts, enhancing my photography skills significantly. I left the class feeling not only more confident but also inspired to explore and experiment further. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in honing their photography skills.

Set up on the jetty amidst some ignorant people crab fishing. Composed the shot dialed in 1 min 40 second exposure.

    Title or Location: Anglesey
    Firstly thank you for choosing my picture for photo of the week. I decided after a week of nights to take a trip to Anglesey. I had seen so many great pictures of Twr Mawr Lighthouse that I had to have a go myself. The original idea was to shoot a sunset but it was beginning to get a bit cool by then and me not being prepared didn't have a jacket or at least a hoodie to wear. So I shot just before sunset and went back to a family owned caravan near Talacre. Uploaded the pics, chose a good one.
