The Sunday afternoon critique was perfect. Showing us how to enhance 60 photos in 3 1/2 hours using Lightroom was the best technique I have seen in a photographic workshop. Too many of like sessions will critique photos telling what needs to be done, but not showing [participants] how to do it.

Janet & Les, The workshop was the best workshop that I have ever attended. In the field, I asked both of you questions and both of you were ready, willing and able to answer them. I got the best sunrise shots that I have ever taken and learned about correcting the texture in waterfall shots and even how to swirl abstract photos. What it amounts to is I learned an awfully lot and enjoyed every day with you.

Les was my first photography mentor when I began to explore digital photography in 2005. His Lightroom workshop became the foundation for the file management and editing that I use. My creative photography skills have taken a huge step forward each time I attended one of Les’s workshops. Both Les and Janet are exceptional nature and fine art photographers with a personable touch in their teaching; as well as a philosophy that helps students find a deeper connection with nature and sense of purpose in their photography practice and the images they create. I have taken workshops with close to a dozen exceptional photographers and teachers, and the teaching style and expertise Les and Janet share put them at the top of my list!
