For my birthday, I was lucky enough to be given a surprise weekend trip to Melbourne, as well as a street photography course. The course was with a guy named Martin Bonnici who runs a company called Photography Made Easy. It was a 4 hr course with just Martin and myself, where we roamed the streets of Melbourne and talked photography. On top of getting some good shots (see below), the larger focus of the course was to get me shooting manual 100% of the time.
After the course, I can say I am now entirely comfortable with Manual mode on my SLR and wouldn't hesitate to use it in any conditions. I also managed to pick up some good advice about composition, exposures, and use of the flash on my SLR. All in all, it was a great experience, and is something worth considering if you are keen on taking some pics on Melbourne and being taken to some great locations.
What a great present!
