    Joel is very knowledgeable. The group was small size so I felt individual attention and all my questions could be answered. I will continue to take further classes in the future after this great first experience.

    Joel was a wonderful instructor who both inspired me in the pursuit of photography and helped me feel more comfortable with my camera. I would highly recommend any of his classes and plan to take more.

    Enjoyed the session. Small group and personal attention was great. I liked that we moved around from Monona Terrace to downtown around the capital and State Street. Joel and son were great. Joel reached out to confirm prior to the meeting which also was nice.

    Title or Location: Capitol building during Street photography class
    This was my second class with Madison Photography Group and Joel Ramsey. After discussing transitioning to mirrorless during the first class, ( was really just looking for an excuse) I went ahead and bought my Nikon Zfc. This was my first day shooting with it and exploring the camera as well as the city. I am always intrigued by the capitol building. I will always appreciate a picture of it.

    Danae had been bucked off her horse, Hawk, moments before this photo was taken. He was cranky from getting a bath earlier in the day, but calmed down when we brought him to a pasture where his best friend Magic was penned very close by. I used a 35 mm lens on my Nikon D750 at f16 to get the sun ray spikes.

    I heard there was a flock of Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Howbridge Cemetery Atherton. Being a cemetery setting respect and care was taken using long lens from footpath. This bird is extremely photogenic and looks like a painting, the feathers are so fine the photos of them appear to be over edited but all I do is maybe crop and lightning.I always shoot in Raw info here Canon 7D 400mm f5.6 1/250, ISO500

    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
