Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in San Antonio .

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    I couldn?t keep up with group so I didn?t learn some things. I have a bad knee. It was crowded and I couldn?t keep up. But, the things I learned helped me. I did have a different idea based on the description of the class in the announcement. Nick did a good job

    I liked the informal setting because there is so much to learn and had it been a structured class like setting, I would have been overwhelmed. Malika was helpful and patient. I?m glad there were only 2 of us that attended because we could really get individual, non rushed attention.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Nick Rodriguez
    Hello, I am Nick Rodriguez. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and I still call the Alamo City home. I have been a photographer since July 1984, when I first picked up a camera at the age of fifteen. My journey began at Fox Tech High School, where I joined the yearbook staff and photographed many of the school's football games. Several of my photos were featured in the 1986, 1987, and 1988 yearbooks.

    After graduating in June 1988, I pursued photography classes at San Antonio College to further develop my skills. I gained valuable experience working at a photography studio from February 1992 to February 1994. From May 1995 to June 2003, I worked at a 1-Hour Photo Lab, honing my craft and deepening my passion for photography. When the lab owners retired, I seized the opportunity to open my own business.

    In 2025, I was honored with an opportunity to teach and share the knowledge I have built over four decades. I am excited to pass on what I have learned and to inspire the next generation of photographers.

    Title or Location: Bandera Texas
    This ground to sky upward lightning was captured on May 1, 2025 near Bandera Texas using a full frame digital Nikon with a 28mm lens. I had the ISO set to 200 and the aperture at F/9 focused to infinity. It is a 30 second exposure. This was a very lucky shot as I had just moved the camera to view this portion of the sky moments before it happened. Although it looks like the lightning is coming from the ground, it's actually emerging from a tall radio tower about 6 miles out. The image is

    Title or Location: Toadstool Hoodoos outside Kanab, Utah
    One night while attending the Nightscaper Conference in Kanab, two friends and I hiked to the Toadstool Hoodoos. Waiting patiently in the cool and quiet desert night, I watched the movement of Scorpius across the sky. The Milky Way Core initially rose in the light polluted area of the sky, the lights were from the Lake Powell Reservoir in Arizona. After a few hours the Milky Way Core cleared the light pollution and aligned with the Toadstools This alignment of the Milky Way with the Toadstoo

    Title or Location: Milky Way over Midway Gyser Basin
    This was an amazing night for Milky Way photography in Yellowstone National Park. Watching the stars rise over the many hydrothermal features created an otherworldly feeling I wanted to capture. Both blending and stacking techniques were used to capture detail in the foreground and control noise throughout the image.

    Title or Location: Mesquite Flat Dunes, Death Valley National Park
    Sunrise at the dunes was beautiful! Every rise and fall in elevation gave me new views and perspectives. The patterns in the sand, contrasting of sunlight and shade, it was a photography paradise. If you have not been to DV, I highly recommend it. Taken with a Nikon Z7ii with a 24-200mm lens.

    Title or Location: Seward, AK
    On a rainy, foggy day touring Kenai Fjords National Park by boat, I came upon these seals hanging out on a large piece of ice. The sun was peaking out to give the seals a bit of glow.
