Message from Simon:
“While the day is about understanding how to get the right picture you want, we won’t be spending huge amounts of time on technical aspects of each camera being used. This will help a lot as the knowledge of everyone on the day will be varied and to make sure you all get the best out of the day, I want to spend as much time focusing on being in the right place at the right time for the right picture!”
