We will meet at 5:30pm on the first afternoon at the Castleton b&b for an introductory talk and discussion on each participants needs and aims – an essential aspect of ensuring that every participant gets as much as possible from the course. You will also at this stage be briefed on the programme for the following 2 days.
Our photography will commence the next morning with a sunrise shoot and run through until an evening/sunset shoot on the final day.
We will visit a number of diverse locations, all of which will offer you numerous challenges and provide you with ample opportunity to practice a number of techniques. There will also be the opportunity for dawn (conditions permitting) and dusk photographic shoots.
Time allowing, we hope to have the opportunity to review your images in our image critique session, when you’ll be able to discuss them with your tutor/s, and receive constructive feedback as we look back on our photography.
The workshop has a relaxed format and is designed to be enjoyable as well as well as educational, so aside of improving your photography you can also enjoy the beautiful surroundings and most importantly have fun! There will also be time to relax and chat over dinner in the evening

The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their photography so photographers of all levels of experience are welcome however it is not suitable for the complete beginner.
Over the course of the workshop we will help you to get the most from your camera, and work with you on composition and camera technique to enable you to capture the best images possible ‘in-camera’.
We will give you both practical and technical advice, as well as individual guidance and hands on demonstrations in the field, at locations chosen to both challenge and inspire you. We will also look at the creative side of photography and developing your vision.
A minimum of 4 participants are required for this workshop to proceed.
We will have one to two vehicles to take us between locations each day. A volunteer driver will be required if numbers dictate, and fuel reimbursed at the rate of 22p a mile.
