    Edwin was very clear and patient. I understand better how to use my camera, how to make the adjustments according to what I want in a picture.

    This was my 1st time joining an activity from Montreal Photography Group and I really enjoyed it. Edwin took the time to properly explain everything. As a full newbie, I really appreciate that he went back to the very basics and even took some minutes to properly show me how my camera works or how I can find certain settings. It was a great class and I?m looking forward to join more activities in the future.

    I think it is an excellent opportunity to connect with people who have the same interest, the instructions and advice of our host were excellent, the guidelines were clear and pertinent to awaken the creativity that street photography demanded. I must also say that his excitement and love for photography is contagious.

    Taken on a bike stroll in Sept 2017. At the time I was living in Hochelaga neighbourhood and used to bike to Jacques Drapeau Park whenever I had the chance. One one of these strolls I made note of interesting spots to photograph and needless to say, the Jacques Cartier Bridge offers plenty of opportunities.This picture in particular wasn't planned per se - the spot I had chosen was to capture the Sun dial over the pointy roof of a church. While I was waiting for the dial to reach the exact s

    Title or Location: Brussels, Belgium
    I am a flight attendant and on every trip I always have my camera with me. Having many hours of free time to wander and visit the city I am in is the perfect excuse to go out and shoot life all around the world. This shot was taken at a major European bank headquarter in Brussels. I had seen pictures of the beautiful architecture and I knew I had to go see it for myself. The facade is made of these tall and impressive white columns. That day was a beautiful sunny day in September 2023, and

    On the evening on the 10th October 2024 we headed out to look for a bridge to photo the Aurora with due to the red alert for activity.We headed to Studley Royal to go to the valley of the seven bridges, however we got distracted by the Aurora show over St Mary's church. We spent two hours taking photos using the tripod in the silence of the night. While listening to owls calling, red deer rutting and watching the night sky dance away with the magic of the Aurora.
