A full-day landscape photography tuition workshop course on the Dorset + Wiltshire border.

£199 per person.

DESCRIPTION

This was the first group workshop I ever ran, always proving popular as it provides an excellent variety of subjects with only short drives between each location.

The exact itinerary will be based on weather conditions, time of year etc. but locations will be chosen from - Cranborne Chase, Knowlton Church, Kingston Lacy + Moor Crichel Beech Tree Avenues, Sturt's Folly (Horton Tower), Sturminster Newton Water Mill, ‘Hovis’ Gold Hill, Fovant Military Hillside Badges, Win Green, Bluebell + Wild Garlic in Beech woodlands (May), Opium Poppy Fields (varies year on year).

This workshop is limited to a maximum of 3 participants to maximise the potential of each location without overcrowding and also to avoid damaging the precious habitats.

In addition to visiting these stunning locations we will cover the following topics to improve your images and the enjoyment of your photography; composition, how to read light, the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO, hyper focal distance, depth of field, shooting RAW, the histogram and anything else you may wish to learn or cover.

Ideally you will have a digital SLR or mirrorless camera with a wide angle and a standard to medium telephoto zoom (or prime) lenses, plus a tripod. Filters including a polariser would be useful and solid neutral density (ND) filters are essential if you wish to capture long exposures.
