    Hi Julia, Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our trip and to thank all of you for the planning and organising that went into making it very memorable. In particular, Pearce did a great job as leader and its very clear that many of our colleagues were part of what we would say was ‘the WPA extended family’. It was great to be welcomed by those travellers as well, particularly those who have been on many trips with WPA previously, they made us feel part of that family! Anne and I are currently thinking about doing something with WPA in future. Pearce did mention that help was a phone call away!

    Darran, your enthusiasm for all things photographic is truly inspirational, even after 30-odd years in the profession. Your duty of care is second to none and I have been on many photo tours. The way you look after every guest and handle personalities is most professional. Thank you and I would certainly travel with World Photo Adventures again in the future.

    Morning Darran, Just wanted to thank you for the Tanzania trip, it was absolutely awesome, I cannot say a bad word about it! I certainly learnt a lot, and I did find the KISS principle working for me. I really do think my photos looked great and I’ll cherish them for a long time to come. The small group made it great as well and everyone was really nice. Oh and toastie was a funny fella! I definitely will be looking into future events with you.

    Hi Darran and Pearce, Thank you again for a wonderful time at Lamington. I was particularly interested to see how my photography had improved in the two years since I started WPA workshops (at Lamington 2 years ago). I can ‘see’ the difference in my images when I compare the previous to now, and it’s not all about going to a full frame camera either. So a big thank you to both of you for helping me to finally break through the Lightroom barrier and really understand what I am doing in this software. It hasn’t been easy for me and I do thank you again and again for your patience and help.
