Course Dates

Springtime Landscapes and Bluebells in the Peak District

Saturday May 2nd – 10.00am to 6.00pm. 

This course will be limited to just 4 photographers. Places cost £99.00 each. Fully booked.

Please contact us to request a booking form for this course. 

This intermediate level landscape photography course has been timed to capture some of the Peak District‘s woodlands in springtime when they are looking their best. One of the features of the course is that all the locations which we may visit are very accessible – no more than a few hundred yards from where we can park our cars. The walking is also very easy (with one small exception which is optional anyway). Continue reading “Springtime Landscapes and Bluebells in the Peak District”

Peak District Waterfalls in Spring

This course has now taken place, but you can see details of all our other courses available here.

This course is being held in one of the Peak District‘s most beautiful valleys, which is also a National Nature Reserve. Lathkill Dale is beautiful at any time of year, but in winter the bare trees and abundant water give it a special stark quality which can produce some exceptionally striking images. The course will run until shortly before sunset, so it will also be a great chance to experience taking pictures in low light conditions using long exposures.

This intermediate level course will be limited to just four photographers – so everyone will receive plenty of individual attention and get their questions answered.

This course is also accessible by public transport.

This edge of the Peak District offers a wonderful range of subjects – including waterfalls, colourful oak and birch woodlands, old millstone quarries, and natural gritstone outcrops. Since the sun will set just before the course finishes, we should be able to get some great shots in golden hour light and at sunset if conditions permit.

They are easy to photograph using natural light with long exposures, but we will also bring some artificial lights to allow you to experiment with some more creative lighting effects as well.
