    Matt C was vey knowledgeable annd approachable during the session . The model ?Red? provided a dimension to apply the techniques explained by Matt. Due to my Sciatic pain experience, had to cut short participation. I would definitely attend future sessions offered by Matt C. Thank you Matt and ?Red?!

    This 3-hour photography bootcamp by Matt Consoli was hands down the best class I?ve ever attended! Matt is incredibly approachable and makes a point to ensure every student?s questions are answered, creating a perfect learning environment.

    Title or Location: This photo was taken in the Meeting Room for the Virginia House of Burgesses in the reconstructed Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.
    As our tour was leaving the House of Burgesses Meeting Room I noticed that the minutes book/journal was highlighted by the Sun streaming through the windows causing the feathers of the quill pens in the inkpot to cast shadows across the page of the book. The sunlight refracting through the small beveled panes of glass highlighted the book on the dark green table cloth. My thought was that the decisions written in that book foreshadowed the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War.

    This photo was taken at Valley of Fire State Park on September 25, 2025.I was using my Nikon D600 with a 28 x 300 mm lens.I had just come over a hill at the park, and the view (this view) completely took my breath away. I could not believe the beauty, textures, layers, and colors that I was seeing. There were no sounds other than the wind. These moments are rejuvenating and glorious, yet humbling. You tend to realize how small you are in such a big beautiful world.

    Originally showed up at Gouldsboro State Park at sunrise to get a backlit, misty shot of the island but when I got there, NO mist, and enough boats on the lake to walk across!Quickly decided to take a backroad to another favorite spot nearby, and slammed on the brakes as I was driving over a small bridge when I looked to the right and saw THIS scene. Finding it was sheer luck, but as always, just getting out there at first light is half the battle. Made this one standing right on the bridge.
