No one wants to go back to school! My workshops are structured so that they are interactive and inspirational. Creating the right environment helps everone attending learn something new, and it does not matter if you are an experienced landscape photographer or if this is the first time out with your camera. I have nearly 25 years experience using SLR Cameras most of that time has been has been spent shooting landscapes. The first 17 years shooting both colour and black and white film, using a traditional wet darkroom to produce prints. I have been using shooting more rececently on Canon Digital Slrs and have used photoshop since version 4. I also have experience using Nikon Cameras, and can easily adapt to most other makes within a few minutes.

In each workshop you will have the oppourtunity to experience the technical and creative process that goes into making memorable and visualy stunning images. All of this is done within the confines of the Dartmoor National Park. You will also learn about the landscape; understanding your surroundings is a key part of taking successful pictures. I will through demonstration and discussion describe my way of working and help you to develope your own.

Topics may include, but are not limited to: Understanding your camera, aperatures, shutter, speed, depth of field, ISO, composition, lighting, use of filters, and using a tripod. We will also consider the photographic process from pressing the shutter button to making a finnished print. Talking about pre-visulisation and what you can do in camera to make you creative vision possible when you get the pictures back home

Participants are encouraged to stop and take images whenever they want benefiting from constructive comments on composistion and the technical elements of picture taking. The workshops are very adaptable and can cater for all levels of experience.
