Basic to Intermediate - July 26, 2009

There were 3 participants for this session; Ameran, Jamal and Rafi. Rafi came all the way from Batu Pahat to attend this course! By the looks of it, all of them love portraiture...it shows in their photos! And they were all using kit lens ONLY! You guys rock!

We had more than a full house this time around, so we decided to have 2 models during the session. Participants were from all over Johor, as far as Pontian and Kota Tinggi! Izam dropped -by to give me a hand during the practicals. Thanks to all ! Had a great time!
