What can I say appart from brilliant. Billie was just great fun to be with, his knoledge on the subject, photoshop and the lacation was extensive yet explained in a simple and easy way(several times if needed) I would recomend this course to anybody with an interest in photography.Don't change anything.I will come again.(sorry Billie you have not got rid of me this easy!!!)

Exceptional on all accounts. The course was fantastic - there were three different abilities and we were all catered for. The learning environment was lovely, calm and exciting. Billy you are an amazing photographer and you were incredible in your ability to motivate and inspire us to learn about taking photos and really enjoy it. We'll definitely be returning, Indira and Peter

I have taken part in two of Billys courses over the past 12 months or so. I would highly recommend them, no matter what level you think you are in photography. Firstly, he ensures that there are a max of three students on any course which means that everyone gets a lot of one-to-one tuition. Secondly, his location choices are second to none. Thirdly, you will get a lot of good, practical advice on how to use your camera before you even press the shutter release. Fourthly, (that doesn't sound right - is it a proper word?) once you have taken your picture you will be presented with a workflow via Lightroom and Photoshop that I believe to be second to none. I am extremely keen on my photography and like to think that I've worked hard on it over the last couple of years but I can safely say that on each occasion I've met him I've always come away knowing more. I'd like to finish by saying that each trip has been like a true holiday - a great atmosphere from start to finish and (especially on my last trip to Skye and Assynt) great company with Billy, Boyd Hunt and young Pete Clayton. I'd highly recommend one of Billys courses.

I had a completely wonderful time, the first day was extremely enjoyable and the scenery in Glencoe is breath taking. Could not fully explain in such a short paragraph the amount of information and tips that I picked up from Billy, he explained the techniques such as composition, exposure, focusing, depth of field etc in the most simplest of terms, which has certainly helped me to understand how to plan and capture the images I am looking for. The second day was also very enjoyable and Billy explained how to organise and how to get the best from my images using the slightest of adjustments when processing, overall the tips and advice I picked up from Billy a week ago has already made a difference to how I enjoy and approach my photography Billy always took his time and made me feel at ease when answering all my questions, I had an absolutely fabulous time one in which I would certainly repeat. Finally cheers Donna for the sannies and the coffee they were great and for the directions.
Cheers David

I had an absolutely fantastic day with Billy. The course was informative, fun, diverse and to top it off, I had the back-drop of Glencoe as my subject! If you want to learn photography as a beginner or even just enhance your photography skills, then I would definitely recommend Billy. His skill and patience is second to none. Thank you for all your assistance over the two day course. I really do feel more confident and have a better understand of the art of photography. And thanks for sandwiches on Sunday, Donna.

We had a good day out with the cameras on the Glencoe day shoot. Although weather wasn’t great Billy showed us what to appreciate in different conditions. As well as teaching the photography skills Billy shared his knowledge of the locations we visited. He knows a great deal about cameras, lenses and accessories and I really appreciate his advice.

I would like to thank you for a fantastic day course. I took away a great deal including a better understanding of camera settings right through to improving photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop. The small group works so well and Billy is a fountain of knowledge in the subject and his passion for photography is inspirational. I would love to attend another course in the near future.

Excellent course, well delivered. Advice and support were delivered at an appropriate level. Billy's knowledge is superb and his enthusiasm for photography (and sharing his expertise) is second to none. In the words of The Terminator "I'll be back!"

Brilliant course. I am an absolute beginner and Billy's advice was patient, tremendously useful and excellent. Learning about Photoshop was fascinating. Billy's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and as a result, the day flew in. Donna should get some TOP praise for the delicious sandwiches too!

Just like to say thanks for the recent 3 day landscape course in Glencoe. Although the weather was not great at times i still managed to get good shots when i would normally sit it out and stay at home. Billy made photoshop look so easy and i learned more over the few days than i have done reading the massive manuals you get. I may still need to book a photoshop course in the future tho as i will forget it all by the time i buy myself a copy.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the 3 day landscape workshop with Billy.Apart from his knowledge and enthusiasm for photography, he's a dammed good host.I gained a lot of valuable information throughout the course and the section on photoshop is excellent.Although not new to photography ,I very rarely do landscapes but having done this course,that's going to change. Thanks again Billy,I definately will be in Glencoe and the surrounds in the very near future.

Being a genuine beginner I can thoroughly recommend this day course. Billy is hugely experienced and knowedgeable and answered all and every question asked. The group was small and he had time to spend on a one to one basis. My knowedge of my camera and techniques came on leaps and bounds just from this one day course. I had read about shooting in manual and using RAW but was daunted by the prospect of using them. That changed and I now almost exclusively shoot in manual and always use RAW. Thanks Billy, and for the Photoshop tuition in the afternoon. You managed to de-mystify the digital darkroom and workflow too. For anyone considering some tuition I would thoroughly recommend Billy Currie.

Just like to say thanks for the 7 day course, although the weather was not as good as it could have been we certainly made the most of it. Anyone who reads this should seriously think about one of Billy's courses. He is always there to give help & advice & is not afraid to divulge information about photography that I am sure some other professional photographers would keep to themselves. In fact, any aspiring photographer would be foolish not to accompany Billy on one of his courses, you learn so much & the best of it is...you remember it too.
We were up for a dawn shoot every day & although we never saw a sunrise, we were there taking the moody & minimalist images. We also saw the sunset every evening & although most of them were still behind heavy low lying cloud, every minute of every day was taken up with positive thinking behind it. On our second day we had that much rain that we went back to the cottage & worked on Lightroom & Photoshop.
The whole course was light hearted & fun, expecially when we went to Loch Assynt to photograph the ruined castle in the pitch dark with only a 3.5million candle power torch to light up the island & castle. The shots that came out of that shoot we to be seen to be believed & it was Billy's advice that got us there in the end.
Just like to say thanks to Mark & Boyd who were on the course with us, we all got along really well, seemed to have a similar sense of humour & did plenty of laughing. I would not hesitate to accompany you all on another outing sometime in the future. Many thanks, Peter Clayton.

Just returned from the 7day Skye, Sutherland & Torridon course. Fantastic! Billy's relaxed and friendly nature, combined with his obvious passion for photography and knowledge of the best locations, made this a great week.
The processing tuition at the end of each day was excellent and all done on laptops provided.
The accommodation was great too. All in all, a brilliant week that I'd recommend to anyone wanting to improve their photography skills and have fun at the same time. Thanks Billy.

I had a fantastic day out with Billy, very friendly and he really helped me progress my photography. One day isn't enough, my letter to Santa has been written!!

Thanks Billy for a very informative day. It was great to get away from auto mode, with a useful morning of getting to grips with camera functions, then putting that into practice. The handouts will be very useful and so thoughtful to have the small laminated ones which fit nicely into my camera bag. The afternoon with file management and your knowledge of Photoshop for image enhancement was most encouraging. And thanks Donna for lunch and friendly hospitality. I will definitely be looking at other courses on offer. Thanks again.

I had a wonderful informative day on Billy's day course. We were supposed to go to Glen Coe but the weather was terrible so Billy had a few East Coast options up his sleeve where the weather was forecast to be better. The locations were fantastic, the tuition was second to none and I am currently working out when I can get on another course! I have also enjoyed looking at Billy's photos on Flickr, they are outstanding.
Thanks so much for such a great experience.

A thoroughly enjoyable course.Thank you Billy for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm and providing such a relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks for another fantastic workshop, Billy! After spending four days at the course on Skye I was amazed at the great improvements in both my photographic skills and post-processing techniques.
Every aspect of Billy’s workshops is thoroughly organized and taken care of with utmost professionalism, yet delivered in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. Billy is not only a passionate and very talented photographer but also a very knowledgeable and patient teacher that will put at ease even the absolute beginner.
Billy’s courses offer a perfect mix of photographic shooting at amazing locations and post-processing work with the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop. Billy provides practical and handy data sheets on all the main photography aspects covered during the workshop as well as instruction manuals on digital darkroom techniques and a load of additional resources and links for further study and research.
I can’t recommend Billy’s courses highly enough and can’t wait to be able to join another of his fantastic workshops in the future.

Hi Billy, just to say thanks for a great weekend, I learnt more in the 4 days than 4 weeks of reading the manual. I will certainly becoming on another course.

Great weekend of photography with Billy. His passion for photography really shone through and his teaching style is warm and friendly. Learnt more in a few hours than weeks scouring through the books. I'll be back soon!!

Castles and Glens Photo Weekend- This was an excellent course delivered by our tutor Billy who was absolutely on top of his subject which he delivered in a very clear,friendly and patient way. I look forward to returning for more. Thoroughly recommended.

Another great day of photography with Billy. Forget the new lens book a day with Billy as he'll take your landscape photography to a new level. No matter the weather you will get that picture for the wall.

Dear Billy, Thank you for another very successful workshop. You're very generous with your knowledge of photography,photoshop and (very importantly ) great sites . Both you and Donna have made us feel very welcome and it was a pleasure to spend the day with you. I hope to book another workshop soon. Dorothy

I would just like to thank Billy for a fantastic one day course enabling us to finally turn that dial from automatic to manual. I had previously read lots of theory but never managed to successfully put it into practice. Billy managed to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and made a lot of sense. He has such a passion for photography and his genuine desire to help you was obvious throughout. I can't believe how quickly the day went with so much covered and for the first time ever it seems to have sunk in! Thanks must also go to Donna for a lovely spread at lunchtime to see us through the afternoon. We came home with some very useful handouts and will look forward to booking another course to learn even more in the future. Thanks again, Kirsteen & James.

An excellent few days in Glencoe. Billy is an excellent ttutor and I had no idea that so much could be achieved with dark, brooding skies and rain to create brilliant images. Billy is completely unselfish in sharing his knowledge and experience - I will definitely book another course with him.

Billy knows all the great locations and his friendly, down to earth personality really made the few days in Glencoe a lot of fun. Thanks to you both for another great course.

Me and my brother thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt some great skills. I have some wicked photos and will definatley be taking my photography further. I am planning to invest in a zoom lense and some ND filters! Would definitely be interested in doing a futher course in a different area.

Thanks for an enjoyable day. Loved how much I learned in just one day's shooting. Feel lots more comfortable and confident in using my camera's manual settings now, thanks to your excellent teaching. Note to other beginners like me! Book a course you wont be disappointed and will come away a better photographer.

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable day of photography. The choice of venues was fantastic and in no way dimished by the changeable weather. It was clear that Billy knew where to go and what to do to get the best pictures. He started us off with a sound technical basis which allowed us to spend most of our time on taking pictures ourselves. It was greaty to chat with Billy throughout the day, picking up tips.By the end of the day I felt that I had really moved onto a new level.

A very informative day spent in great surroundings which can only help me in the future. Thanks again Billy!

Billy, I just wanted to say thanks for the great day out in Glencoe yesterday. Your knowledge of photography (and great locations) were a real inspiration! Thanks again Paul.

Hi Billy, just want to thank you again for the terrific workshop at Wester Ross. Everything about it was great, accommodation, locations, and your expertise in photography and editing. Also thanks to Donna for all the last minute arrangements she made on my behalf. It was my first visit to Wester Ross and I still can't get over how beautiful the whole area is. I will definitely go back. Thanks again, Anne

Can't believe I learned so much in one day. I've struggled to get to grips with shooting in manual mode for two years, always reverting to auto, but with Billy's systematic method of teaching and his patience I had it sussed in no time. Billy is a real down to earth guy, making it easy to ask questions without feeling stupid.
Thanks also to Donna for her hospitality and lovely lunch.
My only regret is that I should've done this sooner.

Hi Billy, I would like to say what an amazing time I had on the Blair Drummond Safari Park course at the end of May. I learned so much more than the previous courses I have been on! Many thanks for your help, Alexine

Thanks to both of you for a great day. Billy was really relaxed about the structure of the day, very friendly and I have to say, I learnt more in the one day with Billy than I have on other courses. Will definitely try and get another course booked soon. Thanks again.

Billy and I arranged a 1-1 course at short notice in Glencoe. The structure was dictated by me according to my requirements. We had a very fruitful and full two days. I am still assimilating all the content together with a large number of photos still to be processed. It was worth every penny and I am confident I am now a better landscape photographer. Thanks Billy for all your enthusiasm.

thanks for a great workshop, relaxed , informative, great locations, high class images ,and very enjoyable. billy is an excellent teacher and ensures everyone from beginner to advanced leaves more knowlegeable .

Hi Billy and Donna, Just wanted to drop a note thanking you both for a most enjoyable weekend, Billy for all the tuition and techniques and Donna for all the fab food and hospitality, and you both for making us most welcome in your home. i have never done anything like this before and you made it a fantastic experience. Now its down to me to put what i have learned into practice, and I cant wait to get out and about and get some shooting done, however Billy I dont think I will be following your lead and getting up at 2am, I think 5.30am will do me fine for now!! Many thanks again

Hi Billy, Just to thank you a lot for the fantastic two days in Scotland. Your passion for photography is great and the knowledge is vast! ... Not only you take great shots and you know the right places but you are also a great "teacher" as you are able to explain photography with implicity by assisting your students at 360 degrees: on the camera, technically, composition + various other great tips on software, lens etc...
Please also thank your wife for the kind hospitality.
Thanks again for your time

hi billy, just to say a big thanks for making my trip to skye so unforgettable, your knowledge and patience was second to none, i have some fantastic images from our evening shoots!! will be looking to see when i can make time to go on another trip, thanks again

This was a really great course over 4 days with (very) early starts and late finishes. Magical scenery and some wonderful photo opportunities. Best of all- no midges in April.
Great help and support from Billy made this a long weekend very well spent.

Hi Billy and Donna, just a quick note to thank you for a great course. All the arrangements went very smoothly with excellent communications. When we got to Skye we were driven to some stunning locations where Billy was always on hand to help out with tips and advice. Billy also provided plenty of help with Photoshop. All in all, this was a great experience and one I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone thinking of booking.

Just a small note and a big thanks to you Billy for an excellent 2 day course, although the weather wasn't the best your instruction will be sure to help me progress and take the next step in my digital escapade,the 2nd day of the course going through photoshop was a breath of fresh air, I would like to say that anyone who is thinking about this course please do it as you will learn a lot and the instruction is very user friendly.

Hello Billy & Donna
I would like to thank you both for all the hard work you put into preparing and running the weekend course. The itinarary was free and easy going to match the weather, the participants and what we found interesting. Prior to the course I was not sure about all the post photo shoot computer work, but the easy steps and methodical approach has made me realise how important this is for maximising the potential of my shots.
Donna - your hospitality was much appreciated and once again many thanks to both of you for an enjoyable two days. I would have no hesitation in advising this as a very good course.

Thanks for a great weekend workshop, Billy - it was packed full of information, and just what I needed. It filled in many of the gaps for me. Hoping I can make it along on another course before too long!

Hi Billy, just wanted to thank you for a wonderful photography course at Loch Ard the other week. It was a pleasure to meet you and tap in to some of your expertise. You have such a relaxed and friendly teaching style that makes students feel at ease.The hospitality back at your house was fantastic as well and we could have (and very nearly did) stay all night getting great tips and hints on Lightroom & Photoshop. I would recommend this for all levels of photographers. Cheers Allan.

Hi Billy, Just to thank you for the course last week up in Glencoe, shame about the weather Friday/Saturday, but Sunday was spectacular even in two foot of snow, Bert thought I had been shooting in black & white. I learned so much - you are a very patient teacher for some one learning about shooting in manual and you have inspired me to continue - just need to upgrade the camera!! I have noticed also that I see things with a 'photographers eye', what would make a good shot and how to compose it and I am doing this on the drive to work! Learning about photoshop and all its possibilities was an eye opener although at the moment still getting to grips with new Mac. Aperture or Photoshop to follow. Thanks again Debbie

Thanks for all your help you made using the camera so simple to understand along with software processing. Looking forward to taking some great shots now and coming along to a future course

Hi Billy, Had a really great time on the Castles and Glens course. The first session was a very long day, but the time was truly well spent with strong locations, fantastic weather and really good advice for all aspects of photography. Chasing rainbows around muddy fields was a real bonus as well.
The second day provided a really good insight into the software packages that can be used to enhance the photographs.
I would really recommend this course to anyone wanting to develop their photography regardless of their experience.

It was my first trip to Scotland and my first SLR camera to get to grips with. I was thrilled with the idyllic locations and Billy was so knowledgeable about each area. From mountains with a winter sunrise, beach sunset, stunning still lakes, I am now gripped with a new hobby of landscape photography - thanks Billy for all of your help with camera manual settings and the Photoshop workshops.

Had a fabulous time in Scotland where Billy took us to some breath-taking locations. The selection of locations and time were spot-on and the workshops very informative, making you feel very comfortable using the software to enhance your pictures.
It does not matter whether you are only beginning with camera or are quite advanced, you will certainly benefit from the great tutor that Billy is. Would recommend to anyone looking to up their game and become a better photographer (I know that I’ll join the next course as soon as the time allows).

Quick note to thank Billy in person for the hints and tips he taught me on my recent one day course. Learned more from Billy in the one day than I had learnt to date. Will definately attend other courses with Billy. Thanks again and will be in touch. Regards, Ed

As I was short of time and unable to do Organised Courses, Billy and Donna set up over two weekends a very effective, enjoyable and economic bespoke photography experience. Fieldwork and Photoshop is uniquely 'Open Book' and intuitively structured. Very informative but above all, STIMULATING!!! I would recommend learning from a Master and very much hope to return soon for more passion and enthusiasm. Great experience and many thanks.

I did a one-day "Digital Darkroom Techniques" course with Billy, based in the classroom. Billy's background in IT, passion for photography and proven ability to take inspirational images mean he is well-qualified to lead such courses. But he is also a very natural teacher and this is what made the course special. Through his hands-on tuition and clear notes, he conveyed both his knowledge and passion for his subject. I learnt a lot about LightRoom and Photoshop in this session, and I'd love to do a field trip with him sometime soon too. Donna's arrangements also were meticulous. Highly recommended!

I attended a weekend Castles and Glens course to gain knowledge and experience of taking landscape photographs, and to find out how to obtain professional standard images. The weekend also included tutorials in using Lightroom and Photoshop, this session was extremely useful and I was able to enhance some of the photographs I had taken the previous day. The course certainly fulfilled my expectations and I hope has enabled me to think before I shoot. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their techniques. The hospitality shown to me by Billy and Donna was exceptional, and the small number on the course meant plenty of time for hands on learning.

Billy, Thanks for a great day on Saturday despite the weather. I really appreciated te way you let me dictate the level of detail and structure of the day - it did mean that I managed to do all I wanted and I'm now very comfortable with the basics of Photoshop.

Hi Billy,
Just thought I would drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed myself on your 2 day course in October. Despite the bad weather we had a great day at Castle Stalker, Kilchurn Castle and Rannoch Moor. Your enthusiasm for your work shone through all day and the gentle way you had of keeping me on the right track using the techniques you showed me led to a very enjoyable and informative day. I found that despite your modesty your methods for capturing the scenes and doing them justice to be outstanding. On the second day at your custom built classroom your well thought out and comprehensive guide and notes made picking up on your knowledge of Photoshop enjoyable and very quick. I have went from being useless with PS to being able to produce a good result in the space of a day, Amazing!. In all I will be happy to recommend your courses to all my friends in the camera club and still cannot believe what great value you offer for such a good course. I wish you every success in the future and I will certainly be booking with you again in the near future.
Thanks again
Allan

Hi Billy,
I just want to thank you for all your help at the recent Glencoe course. I feel I learned so much and have continued to learn more since I returned thanks to all the additional resource links you provided.
Your knowledge of locations was excellent as was the instruction on photography and equipment.
I would highly recommend your courses and will definitely enrol for another course next year

Thank you so much for your patience on the Trossachs workshop. I joined the course with very little camera knowledge and now feel confident using my camera in all modes. The shooting locations were fantastic, your facilities were perfect and your enthusiasm and encouragement really really helped me. Im just so excited to get out there now and put your words into practise. Thanks Billy

Thanks for the wonderful workshop, Billy, and for being such a generous, inspirational and caring teacher. As an absolute beginner I was surprised by how much I have learned in such a short time and how my approach to photography has been totally transformed. And I still can?t believe some of the images I took are true! The spectacular location and your passion for photography made your course a truly amazing experience.

I would just like to say thank you for a very enjoyable and informative course. I still can't believe how easy it was to go from auto to manual, it was worth it for that alone.

I just wanted to say thanks Billy for the wonderful Glencoe workshop. The locations and time of day you selected where perfect. Also the advice on; the use of my camera, composition and focal lengths are something I will try and remember (no promises though) .

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say THANKS for a fantastic workshop! I was serious when I said I learned more in a couple of days than I have in the last couple of years. The new photographic techniques and wonderfully simple methods of processing using Lightroom and Photoshop are really helping all of my images, old and new. There is no doubt that my photographic skills improved significantly during the holiday, far more than I realized at the time resulting both in a higher number of keepers and good results from places I had failed to get decent shots previously. It's a pleasure to be able to say there wasn't a single thing that could have been done differently or better as every single thing met or exceeded my expectations. If you are reading this because you are thinking about going on one of Billy's workshops then I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Billy is very relaxed, knowledgeable and puts you at ease the minute he meets you. The measure of a great teacher is when you don't realise how much you are learning because you are having so much fun. I can't believe I was nervous about turning up. After completing the workshop my passion for photography has definitely been reignited, so much so, later in the week once I confirm my holidays I will be booking one of your longer holidays. Can't wait, see you soon

Fantastic, I loved every part of it. What a beautiful country complimented perfectly with top class tution. See you soon
