    I loved it. I learnt a lot. Jordan is very knowledgeable and helpful. He spent some time speaking with the group and also had one-on-one time with everyone to help out with specific user errors. I still struggle with using my manual settings, so it was great to get help with this. He also gave some important tips regarding subjects and getting a more unique shot. I am looking forward to future meetups!!

The scene was serene, with a gentle hush enveloping the air.
