The Tour 
Northumberland is an amazing county with a stunning coastline. Revered in its dramatic features since the time of painters, Turner and Girtin, the castles and rocks are some of the best in the UK, superb for our photographic pursuits. 
  
This 4 night workshop is a coastal classic. Everything you could want in a photography course, from sea scapes to foreboding castles, nestled on the skyline. We cover all the details required for understanding long exposure settings.  

This part of the country offers vast skies, with some astounding cloud formations. 

Relaxed approach

All the workshops we run are based on a very relaxed format to make the most of your time and importantly enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I don't chase around the countryside from one location to another. This course is also about learning to slow down and study with your eyes. Understanding what is happening in nature and the weather patterns is a huge part of taking a great photograph. I will show you to use your eye's and resolve the compositional puzzle that is presented at each new location we visit. I will also give you an insight on how to read the weather so you know when to anticipate dynamic light.

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 walking along the coast so a little fitness is required, a pair of walking boots and Wellingtons would be beneficial for working on beach.

Waterproofs - Just in case.
