A photography experience - more than just f stops! - Detlef gave a great experience with locations that were inspiring and with a unique viewpoint. He was practically a native english speaker ( he is German ) and we had a good laugh during the experience, it can’t all be about f Stops!! If you ate interested in photography at any level this experience will be of value. I am a seasoned photographer ( ARPS ) and so was more interested in his particular take rather than practical instruction. Highly recommend.

Amazing Photography Workshop for Beginners and Experienced Photographers Alike! - Overall Rating: Amazing experience, Extremely informative for beginners and experienced photographers with a great teacher; Will be booking again for further tours and workshops!!! Detlow hosts an amazing workshop in teaching even the most basic lessons of photography to students. Communication with him was extremely easy as he speaks German, Spanish, and English very well and he quickly arranged a virtual meeting before our set tour to discuss potential shooting locations based on my desires and experience. When the day came, he met me at the site of Charco El Diablo (easier for me to drive than to arrange for him to pick me up, which was an option) and after quick hellos, we were on our way. Throughout the tour, Detlow was guiding me on how to properly use my camera in manual mode, how to set up a scene to capture the lighting and landscape the best. His instructions were clear and concise and I came away from the day with a incredibly better understanding of my camera and how to take truly magnificent photographs that properly capture just a small portion of Tenerife's gorgeous western coast. For a 5 hour excursion, it was an amazing price and I know it has only scratched the surface of everything to learn for taking photography, whether as a hobbyist or aspiring professional. Detlow also offered to do a virtual workshop teaching post-production on photos to bring out the full potential that today's cameras are able to capture and I was quick to jump at that chance as well. I have already begun discussing a follow up trip to take advantage of the amazing night photography possible on this beautiful island on Mount Teide. If I had to give some advice to prepare for this excursion, advice that will mostly repeat the information Detlow sends before hand, bring sunscreen water, and a good wide brimmed hat to help combat the sun. If you haven't experimented or learned about landscape photography in the past, it is a lot of patient and careful setting up shots and waiting for the perfect moment, all exposed to the sun. And there is quite a lot of sun in Tenerife. Finally, do not think your camera's battery will last on a single charge for the whole time. Nothing is more frustrating than finally setting up a perfect shot with the sunset slowly getting in place than to have your camera die when you are finally ready to start shooting. I hope if you are looking to delve into the world of photography, you jump at the opportunity to take one of these great tours, experience Tenerife with a local showing you the breathtaking sights and teaching you an invaluable lesson in photography that he has accumulated over a lifetime. I certainly have treasured the experience. Ratings: Communication: 5/5 stars; very easy keeping open lines of communication.
