Workshop Overview.
This is the perfect Photography Workshop to really get to grips with your Landscape and Water Photography. Aimed at beginner/ intermediate level Photographers, learn how to perfect your composition, get to grips with shutter speeds and lens choice.
Discover the wonderful and hidden beauty of South Lakeland and the historic village of Grasmere. We will spend some time exploring the area, concentrating on the stunning views, lake and surrounding woods. The Workshop Starts in the area known as White Moss. A simply beautiful Woods! Where you will spend time learning how to properly compose Landscape Photography, using trees to frame your subject matter, as well as incorporating texture and detail into your finished images. We will then pause for a well earned lunch at the gorgeous 'Potting shed cafe' within Grasmere garden centre ( they serve simply scrumptious jam & cream scones!)
After lunch we will explore the hidden and atmospheric 'Penny Rock wood'.
This is the perfect location to understand how water can relate to land in terms of composition and negative space. The rocks at Penny Rock wood, make for an interesting subject matter, get creative with the mood and learn techniques, Pro Photographers use.
Its also a perfect time to get to grips with your Tripod or Camera kit and experiment with different shutter speeds, apertures and lens, or simply enjoy the views and make friends with like-minded creative individuals.
