The Great Ridge - Sunrise Photography Workshop in the Peak District.
Visit the classic shot of Mam Tor, and it’s hidden photographic opportunities which most people miss. An incredible location with easy access. A short steep staircase to the top, and rolling hills thereafter. A National Trust carpark leads you directly onto the trail. We will arrive about an hour before the sunrise at 4am, which will give us plenty of time to get into position for our first set of images. We will explore different compositions and reasons in which we choose them, learning theory and practical lessons. By then, we will begin exploring the rest of the ridgeline and a few hidden gems along the way. Depending on the weather conditions, there may be potential for some woodland photography too! The workshop will come to a close at mid-day, giving us 8 hours to spend together.
I will talk through how your camera work with advice on settings depending on the scenario. How to guide the viewers eye to the focal point, how to simplify the scene . Other methods will be discussed such as bracketing, focus stacking. All different techniques ranging from beginner to advanced.
I tailor my course to you, as best as I can. Assuring that you learn something new and ultimately come out with work to be proud of.
I welcome all questions, photography related. Not only is this a great opportunity to learn from a professional - but to meet like minded people and make new friends. I often stay in touch with most people from my workshops and share ideas together.
The maximum spaces available will be 5 people. This will allow me to make sure that everyone cant get the help they require and have their questions answered.
Upon booking, I will email you are a short questionnaire about your photography experience, to help me plan the day for you.
