Saturday June 11th – 10.00am to 5.00pm

Saturday August 13th – 10.00am to 5.00pm

These practical one day courses are held outdoors and are each limited to a maximum of 6 places, which cost £99.00 each. Please contact us to request a booking form, or if you need any further information about the course. 

The courses are held in the area around Fox House, on the edge of Sheffield, and are accessible by public transport.

No prior knowledge of photography is required for these courses – so they are ideal for people who have just bought their first dedicated camera (and have only previously used a smartphone to take photos), as well as those who have only been using their camera in “auto” mode and would like to learn how to use it to its full potential. The courses are not just for owners of digital slrs, but are equally suitable for any type of digital camera provided it can be used in other than “all-auto” or “scene” modes – whether it is a compact “point and shoot” camera, travelzoom, bridge, mirrorless, or dslr.

Lathkill Dale (most of which is a National Nature Reserve) has a fantastic range of subjects for us photographers – from the numerous weirs used to manage the water levels on the river, to waterfalls, woodlands, caves, impressive limestone cliffs and many species of beautiful flora and fauna.It has also been the scene of industrial activity for hundreds of years, and the remains of the two largest lead mines are today a Scheduled Monument for their significance. One of them still has the parts of a large steam engine house standing, while the visible remains of most of the other features have been made more attractive for photography by being reclaimed and softened by nature during the 170 years since mining here finished.
