Weekend Landscape Courses for DSLR Beginner.

fotodayz want to improve your photography

The aim of these courses are to get you beyond that first step. It's learning from doing, learning from mistakes and playing with the black box.

I guide you through the process of translating what catches your eye to making the final image and help you understand the technical aspects behind those decisions:


- How to adjust exposure to deal correctly with varying light conditions.
- How to use lead in features to create depth and add interest to a composition.
- How to use depth of field using aperture priority settings.
- How to adjust speed settings and use the shutter speed creatively.
- How to use filters with sunrises and sunsets.

We only visit 2 or 3 venues to maximise learning time but they will be contrasting settings, providing an opportunity to explore various aspects of composition and creative tools such as depth of field, aperture and shutter settings.

Frances: I really enjoyed the weekend, and although it was disappointing that sunrise and sunset didn't work out I thought we had brilliant weather conditions the rest of the time so that made up for it. I also thought your choice of B&B was very good - comfortable and a nice relaxed atmosphere!


There will be a maximum of five people per course which means that everybody will benefit from the tutors experience and will be able to work with the tutor on a "one to one" basis at some point during the workshop.

Although it is a fairly structured course I aim to maintain an informal feel. It is after all your time out in stunning countryside and I hope we will also have fun, enjoy making new friends and mucking in together.

Course notes are provided to enable you to consolidate your learning experience and you are always welcome to contact me via email or phone for further advice for up to 6 months after your course.

If you don't have a tripod, I have some available.
Hot and cold refreshments are provided throughout the day.

Cost: £295 per person including one night's bed and breakfast single occupancy accomodation, all other meals at additional cost - maximum 5 people.
Deposit: £100 with balance to be paid before the course.
Cost does not include: insurance
Fitness level: Nothing too strenuous. You may be paddling in a stream or walking on moors. Come prepared for English weather.
Equipment needed: Digital DSLR camera, tripod, walking boots or wellies & waterproof clothing are advisable.

We believe that a photography workshop should be spent in the field - it really is the only way to truly improve your outdoors photography and to learn how to make the most of our unpredictable weather!

These workshops are held from Saturday lunchtime to whatever time we finish on Sunday.

They are designed to cover a sunset and a sunrise with ample time to explain the processes of both.
