Dovedale Valley Sunrise - Photography Workshop
Dovedale Valley is potentially one of the most picturesque places in The Peak District - attracting 1 million visitors a year, there is a very good reason for it. We will be taking a different approach though, arriving in the dark, awaiting an epic sunrise from the surrounding hills. Leading up to Tissington there is a farm house which creates an amazing silhouette against the sky. A cracking little gem which isn’t often explored. On the way back down through the valley there will be ample opportunities to get the ‘classic’ shots of this location. One of them being the stepping stones. We will have a great view of Thorpe Cloud which we will ascent after the initial sunrise shoot. By the time we get there, the sun will begin to fill the valley and light up any mist which has been developing through the night.
Throughout the morning we will look at using different exposure compensating technique, the trade off from boosting your ISO to get a fast shutter speed, is it worth it? Where is the sweet spot? Low light photography, composing a landscape. And other ideas 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, location or hiking related. If you wish for some 1:1 guidance and time allows it, then by all means please ask. 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 in a WhatsApp group (I will add you to it if that’s something you’re interested in)
The maximum spaces available will be 4, five people including me. 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.
