Previous Participants' Comments

Previous participants made the following comments about this workshop :

"

I really appreciate your down-to-earth seminar approach. What would otherwise be too technical were explained in simple and no-frills language." - Atty Noy Rojas

"The Exposure Triangle. Aperture, ISO, Shutter speed were presented in a NOT-INTIMIDATING manner. We were given examples and tips but just enough for starters....

All in all it was a very refreshing experience and I'm glad I attended the workshop." - Ms. Junette Hortado

"E.D. Altares Photography rocks!" - Jay Mariano
