I really enjoyed it. Zoe was enthusiastic and pitched it right for beginners. I came with a bit more knowledge, but I wanted to accompany my friend who wouldn’t have come alone. Still, I learnt some little nuggets. The group gelled despite the restrictions and I think everyone went away with some pleasing photographs.
