I attended one of Alfonso's City & Seascape tours in early April, which included a night shoot at Milson's point then an early morning start at Mona Vale Beach. The night shoot was fun down by the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park, Alfonso showed us all the settings in Full Manual Mode (no Auto setting allowed here!) to get the... More

This was a great start to my brief stay over in Sydney. A great morning tour learning some history of the rocks area as well as learning basic and intermediate functions of the modern dslr camera. Having only recently migrated to this format I found Alfonso brilliant in his simple methods to convey his obvious love of his craft. Anyone... More

I had recently found Alfonso's photography tour website and after talking with him I have booked on the Japan trip for later in the year. Alfonso said he would like to meet me prior to going on the trip and after saying I would be in Sydney on holidays, he arranged a night shoot and morning shoot to suit my... More

Last Saturday night I enrolled in a night photography tour of the Sydney Rocks area, run by Alfonso Calero. Even though I had studied photography for four years and had a Canon 5D Mark II, I still learnt so much in this 3 hour session. He has a great teaching style and was able to cater to those who had...

Just been on the morning tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Alfonso is a great guy, very knowledgeable but without being patronising. He showed me some basics on my camera and then set me off taking pics. Alfonso is also a font of historic knowledge and is happy to show historic points of interest along the way. I learnt a lot...

My wife and I took this tour as a way to get photography ideas and learn how to operate our cameras. Alfonso did a nice job balancing the different skills of the group. As a part of the tour he provided some handy reference cards, which i am still carrying around. He also provided some interesting history about the rocks... More

I bought a good camera as a present to myself in the summer, but hadn't taken it off automatic mode. Was getting really frustrated that I hadn't even scratched the surface of it's capabilities and felt like I was missing some really good photo opportunities. In the three hours I learned exactly what aperture, shutter speed and ISO actually mean... More

Prior to doing a photography trip to Japan run by Alfonso Calero of Sydney Photography Tours, I did a refresher course of the Sydney Photography Tour in The Rocks, Sydney. I did this same tour course a couple of years ago, then did it again in September 2012. Loved the first time and got even more out of it the... More

My partner and I did this tour as ametures. My partner was not all that keen before we went, but I draged him along . After meeting Alfonzo and the wonderful freindly group, he warmed to the idea. By the time the tour was over, he wanted to do more tours and had become not only converted, but we all... More

I took the half day morning tour and found Alfonso to be a knowledgeable professional with a great personality. His course taught me what my camera was capable of doing and the pictures I have been taking since then have greatly improved. I wish I had time to take the night tour. Great class, highly recommended.
