Bought as a Christmas present following a friend's rave reviews I didn't want to set my hopes to high as I am not very experienced at manipulating my entry level DSLR and tend to default to the camera's offered presets rather than venture into Aperture priority let alone manual.

Andy's excellent tuition left me with much greater confidence in using full range of my camera's capabilities and I discovered how to use buttons never used before including the revelation of exposure compensation.

The puffins are such an appealing subject trying to get the 'money' shot of a bird in flight with a beak full of sand eels became within reach.
