Description
An opportunity to enjoy three days photographing some of Dorset’s finest unspoilt coast and countryside. The Dorset coast can be at its finest at this time of year with dramatic weather and a good chance of capturing the sun rising through Durdle Door. We'll be out with the camera capturing these places when the light is (hopefully) at its best around sunrise and sunset as well as a tutorial on processing the images using Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop back at the hotel.
Where do we stay?
The workshop is based at The Kingston Country Courtyard B&B ideally situated in the heart of Purbeck with views of Corfe Castle from the gardens. From here we'll be heading to some of the stunning locations along the nearby coastline.
Who is it aimed at?
An understanding of the basics will be useful but this course is suitable for photographers of all levels, anyone looking to improve their landscape photography and enjoy a photography trip and hopefully a few laughs, with a small group of like-minded people. I pride myself on providing plenty of personal tuition during my workshops, so numbers are limited to 5 participants to enable me to spend plenty of time with everyone.
On this workshop we will look at all aspects of landscape photography, including composition, exposure settings, focusing, using live view, using filters and anything else that comes up. My workshops are supported by LEE filters who have kindly supplied complete sets of filters for those who do not have them to use on the day and I will be on hand to offer expert advice on how, when and why to use them. As a LEE Filters ambassador, I can also give individual advice on choosing filters, as well as a discount code, to anyone who needs it.
Following the workshop
There will be an image review session via Zoom which is not only an opportunity to receive critique on your work but to see and discuss the photos that others have taken during the trip.
What is included?
On my workshops, every detail is taken care of from the transport, delicious food, comfortable private rooms to the stunning locations so you can relax and concentrate on enjoying the photography.
