They are being held on Saturday June 15th, July 20th and August 17th at a wonderful location in the Derbyshire White Peak, with subjects right outside the door – so little walking will be involved. They will be limited to a maximum of 6 people, and places cost £85.00 each.

For more experienced photographers, we will also be running two of our popular landscape photography courses on Saturday July 13th and August 10th at a field centre in the Derbyshire White Peak. We will have a wonderful range of subjects for you to practice on right outside the door, so very little walking will be involved on these courses. Places cost £85.00 each, and you can see further details here.
