EXCELLENT Based on 31 reviews Posted on Helmut PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Given the outstanding reputation of Ronan’s tours, we had very high expectations — and they were exceeded. We booked a full-day tour and enjoyed every minute of it. Ronan took us to fantastic places with so much to see and photograph. He gave us invaluable tips on how to improve our photography skills and even offered to review our pictures after the tour. Over the years, I have booked several tours of this kind, and Ronan’s tour was by far the best.Posted on Ann Luttinger (ARTINITE)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent a day with Ronen, photographing different types of birds. He thought me many things I did not know. Over the lunchbreak he even came to our hotel and showed me how to best work on my photos in Lightroom and how to best crop images and do story telling. While we were on the wildlife tour he did bring us to the best places and explained what we should look for and how to best adjust the settings of the camera for the different scenes and situations. It was a great day and Ronen exceeded my expectations. He is also a very kind personality and it is fun to spend the time with him. If you have the possibility to take a course with him, I definitively would recommend to do it.Posted on martin whiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give six stars I would. Ronen was a great coach with a relaxed and patient style with someone grappling with new camera and very much in the amateur camp! I learnt so much and came away with completely different perspectives on what makes great pictures and technically how to get them. Fascinating too that one he shot on the trip appeared published the next day , my version looked a little different! Best investment you could make if you are aspiring to improve your wildlife photographyPosted on Jen WaltersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience at Ronen’s photography workshop in Orlando. He took the time to help us fine-tune our camera settings, which made a significant difference for me—I can already see clear improvement in my photos. Ronen was generous in sharing his knowledge, especially when it came to recognizing the right moments to capture the best shot, and he offered thoughtful, constructive feedback during the image review session. I’m truly grateful for his time and expertise and hope to have the opportunity to join him in the field again.Posted on Kimberly GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This workshop exceeded every expectation! Not only is Ronen incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but he is also a genuinely kind and encouraging person. He was patient with me and welcomed/encouraged questions, which made it easier for me to learn, and ultimately grow. Admittedly, I came into this experience a little discouraged with past attempts to photograph birds, but I walked away feeling inspired, more confident in my photography skills, and truly grateful for the experience and wealth of information that I will carry with me throughout my photography journey. Highly recommend!Posted on Jennifer BrittonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed a full day with Ronen at the Orlando Wetlands and Gatorland. Ronen was very informative and patient with us as he talked to us about ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. He has made me feel more confident with my camera as well as with what to look for when taking pictures. ***BEHAVIOR*** Ronen is AMAZING and I 1000% recommend!!! Now...time to go buy a Sony camera...LOL Thank you for everything Ronen, you are the best!Posted on Christina BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An inspiring and knowledgeable workshop with Ronen. He took the time to walk me through camera setup and explain everything there before heading out for an afternoon in the wetlands. Ronen throughly and thoughtfully answered all my questions and was a wealth of information for all aspects of photography that I have been able to take home and continue building upon. Highly recommend.Posted on Meirav HofmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply the best! Ronen is knowledgeable, efficient and an amazing teacher. He knows the perfect timing and location for every photography goal. Spent an afternoon with him photographing birds and already booked my return visit. Strongly recommend!Posted on John GolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent an afternoon With Ronen in Wakodahatchee Wetlands. He was fantastic. I have limited experience with bird photography. Ronen was a patient instructor. He adjusted my camera to the appropriate settings and spent the entire afternoon giving valuable lessons and tips about techniques needed to optimize my photographs. If you have any interest in birds, I would highly recommend an afternoon With Ronen!Posted on Julia FermayerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took a wildlife photography class with Ronen and it was fantastic. I learned so much in a short time, and the wildlife opportunities were incredible — from Great Blue Heron chicks to an Anhinga with a fish speared on its beak. Ronen is knowledgeable, patient, and great at helping you get the shot. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their wildlife photography.
