Lyme Regis coastal and harbour workshop
Held in the coastal town of Lyme Regis in Dorset with its picturesque working harbour, dramatic sea wall, and detail rich beach. This is a subject rich location with a variety of scenes and situations to suit all photographic tastes. There is also a plentiful supply of facilities, i.e. toilets, benches, under cover retreats etc, to make the most of the town no matter what the weather. Participants will be responsible for their own travel, parking, and accommodation (if required) costs. Unfortunately I cannot advise on suitable accommodation options. The workshop fee excludes any personal or equipment Insurance, and participants should bring along a packed lunch and drinks in order to make the most of the day. A £50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. In the event of the participant cancelling the deposit will be held. If I have to cancel for any reason then the deposit will be will be refunded, however I will not be responsible for reimbursing any accommodation or travel booking costs. The focus of the workshop will be to encourage the participants to think about their approach, and to be sure about the "story" they are trying to tell. During the workshop I will also provide guidance on camera settings, filtration and setup, as well as techniques to improve your compositions. You will receive a brief questionnaire before the workshop to allow me to tailor the content towards what you wish to learn.
After the workshop I will remain available by email (preferred) or phone to continue to advise as you view and process your images from the day. |

Quotes from previous participants
"... for the first time in a long time I actually used all the of kit that I heaved around, and whilst before yesterday I was convinced that having a long lenses wasn’t for everyday use my mind has been changed. The format of the day for me was perfect, plenty of time to chat around the subject, critics of some of the photos I had already taken, and a fair amount of friendly banter..." A D M "I hugely enjoyed yesterday and feel much more enthused about taking my photography forward.
By chance we were at Stourhead today and I tried putting into practice what we had learnt with you, particularly histograms. ... I hope that I have learnt about 'where' I am going. I felt totally relaxed all day, not inhibited to ask questions and your took excellent care of us." E.J "Just a note to say thank you so much for yesterday's workshop. I really enjoyed it, despite my body deciding to seize up part way through!
I learned a lot about filters, histograms and composition. I've been looking online for a starter set of filters and am going to treat myself. I may go for the big stopper option and then add the others bit by bit, not sure yet! I've also got my eye on a geared tripod head but that may have to wait a while!" S.S |
