Mike – alias “the old boy”


Dated: 23 January 2025

I have appreciated the consideration you have given me very much – thankyou.

Your enthusiasm and passion for photography has rubbed off on me. You have taught me to never give up in such a nice way. You have a real strength and I wish I had that same characteristic.

You have improved my photography and enabled me to move of the P mode so I have more control of my camera in a few days.

There are many powerful hints you have given me. I will now have to consolidate them all and most of all practice what you have taught me.

I can now pursue my hobby with so much more confidence.

Thanks heaps Julie
