On the 16th and 17th of May 2015, we held our Autumn i love photography weekend digital photography course.
On the Saturday we were located at the Griffith Community Hall, where many like minded people joined together in the art of photography. We were so privileged to have such an enthusiastic group of people, who all wanted to improve their digital photography skills and enjoy a lovely weekend learning more about the craft of photography. We had a terrific time!
