WHAT OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE TO SAY:
"Maxis,
Absolutely Amazing! What was supposed to be an indoor seminar at Corkscrew Sanctuary turned into a hands-on, in-the-field workshop. The one-on-one time you spent with me at Estero Lagoon has me "viewing things in a different light". I've talked so much about the experience - how much you showed me in such a short time, and about your work shops that, as you already know, my girlfriend surprised me with the Gatorland Workshop for my birthday. I can't wait to see what experiences/knowledge come out of it. Thanks again for everything and can't wait for Gatorland.

"Hi Maxis,
I've been photographing birds for a few years and developed some odd habits. Maxis gently suggested better techniques for following birds in flight including custom camera settings, wimberley setup, bumping AF, and background windows. He also critiqued images on my laptop and made suggestions for camera settings to improve framing, avoiding silver eye, and post processing for noise and detail. I highly recommend his tutelage

"Hello Maxis,
I've had my Sony DSLR for 2 years now and have been trying to improve my skills. The Estero experience was absolutely awesome for me. I will always remember your tips on how to shoot in manual and get the most from your camera. Being able to actually shoot with a group and get your feedback as we worked was a huge help. I think watching the histogram and the angle of the sun are really going to improve my photos. I went out and bought a Nikon D90 just recently and a 70-300mm lens. I know I have so much to learn, but the challenge is part of the experience.
When you get a great photo, it’s all worth it. I’ll definitely take some inspiration from your website photos. Thanks again for that great day! It is one experience I won’t forget.
Jenni"
