Workshop Details -
What you need
Bring along the camera equipment you are most familiar with and have a good understanding of its basic settings. Most cameras work in a simular way so I can help with some of the finer points.
It can be digital or film, I use both, the only point I would add here is that it is nice to view the days photographs in the evening all together, digital photography allows for this activity.
Fitness- The photography does require some moderate hill walking so a little fitness is required, a pair of walking boots would be beneficial.
Waterproofs - Just in case.
Arrival - We meet up at the Springfield Country Hotel on Friday afternoon, we can then head out for the first photographic shoot of the weekend. This will leave plenty of time to be back at the Hotel for Dinner and discuss the morning location.
We will complete the course on Sunday afternoon with a sunset, weather permitting.
Post Production
All workshop participants are welcome to book a date at my studio in Shropshire to discuss and learn Photoshop Editing/Printing Techniques. Your favourite image from the weekend will then be printed out Full Colour or Monochrome upto 18" x 24" size.
