About this Event
Workshop Summary
Enjoy the stunning views as you walk along the Avon Valley where canal and river intertwine. Acqueducts, viaducts and bridges; swans, storks and ducks; Saxon Churches, Tithe Barns and hidden villages offer endless photographic gems.
Whether you are a beginner or keen amateur the workshop will provide you with the settings on your camera, the fundamentals of composition and exposure, and guide you through the concepts of depth of focus, lens choice, contrast, tone and texture.
Departing either from the hamlet of Limpley Stoke, the village of Freshford or the town of Bradford on Avon we complete a circular and leisurely walk, allowing plenty of time for questions and reviewing photographs. The workshop runs for approximately 3 hours.
The groups are always small (max 4 people) allowing time for 1 to 1 personal tuition along the way.
