Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An excellent 2 days on a 1:1 landscape photography course with Nigel in the Brecon Beacons. Nigel has a wealth of photography knowledge and experience and has a really good eye for composition. He also knows a lot of great locations for different weather conditions. I learned a lot about composition and quite a few very useful techniques with Photoshop specifically for landscape photographs. Highly recommended.

Landscape course for myself and a friend with Nigel. He knows some great locations for all the weather options in the Brecons. We had an amazing couple of days learning from Nigel. His wealth of knowledge from years of working in the photography business is incredible. Look forward to going back to the Brecons soon!

I recently had the good fortune to attend the Brecon Beacons Landscape Photography Workshop run by Nigel Forster, Creative Photography Wales. The workshop was purchased by my children as a 60th Birthday present. I'm not a practiced photographer by any means, and was somewhat apprehensive and nervous about attending as I thought it might be well beyond my current capabilities.

Nigel, has a really great personality and is a really talented tutor, who apart from being very knowledgeable on the subject, is one of those rare people who can translate photographic technical speak into everyday layman terms and more importantly, provide you with the confidence to experiment with your camera and surprise yourself with what you can achieve with the right approach and mindset.

All in all, the entire workshop proved to be a very enjoyable and memorable learning experience, and wouldn't hesitate to repeat the experience all over again. If you are thinking about extending or refreshing your photography landscape skills you should give this a try - you wont regret it.

Great two day course on the Northumberland coast. I have been on similar courses with Nigel and I live in the NE but it is still an excellent learning experience to go on these courses, I always learn more about landscape photography and processing the images taken. Nigel gives useful tips and shares his knowledge and experience freely. Very worthwhile and for anyone who doesn't know Northumberland, it is a beautiful part of the country come see for yourself.

Nigel had detailed and precise knowledge of the locations we visited, and has a very keen eye for composition and making the most of the photographic opportunities whatever the conditions. Our small group had a variety of expertise, and I think all levels of ability did benefit from this workshop. Practical work is supplemented by a number of interesting presentations, and the chance to process results with software (by a separate Zoom this time). This particular workshop covered Northumberland coast and countryside, Hadrian's Wall, and Newcastle/Gateshead centre, and had flexible 2/3 or 4 day options. My personal objective was to come away with (some!) photographs which had impact and interest (like on the website!), to understand the use of filters, and to try some software image manipulation of RAW files, rather than JPEGS, and to use my camera other than on AUTO setting. I was delighted with the results. I think though a key benefit of Nigel was gaining from his expertise, at least some insight into how to "see" the landscape/seascape/cityscape and so take better photographs.

The interactivity - extensive opportunities to ask questions and seek explanations, sometimes just for the simple things it's often hard to get an answer for !

Had a 1-1 with Nigel for a day. Brilliant practical and thoughtful classroom based instruction.
All in all I learnt a lot about camera control to improve my photography.
