Workshop Overview.
Wow, what an experience!
Two days of practical Photography, under the guidance of the Workshop Leader Emma Holt BA(Hons). Keeping the numbers to minimum means that each participant gets ample opportunity to have 1:1 Tuition.
Day 1; Meeting at the main car park in Grasmere, participants will then be driven to our first locations; White Moss and Penny Rock Wood. Spend the day in truly wonderful locations! There is so much contrast. Penny Rock wood has a magical feel, with large boulders and plants, against a man made wooden path, that leads down to mystical woods and the Lakes edge.
Wonder over the bridge to Photograph truly stunning scenery…the Lake itself is beautiful, it has a tranquillity…and the views are wonderful!
White moss has some of the most gorgeous wooded areas, with a rushing stream and rocks a plenty.
go at your own pace! In fact we encourage students to slow down and really take your time to look at your surroundings. This is a perfect time to practise, get off those automatic settings or experiment with composition and get creative!
We will pause for Lunch at the lovely Potting shed Cafe in Grasmere.
Finishing the day at around 3.30pm/4pm.
Day 2; We will begin the day at 10.30am, again meeting at Grasmere Car park. (Time subject to change).
Participants will then be driven to our next location, Blea Tarn. This is a wonderful location, again with ample chance for each student to gain 1:1 Tuition.
With stunning views over the Langdale pikes, this really is a beautiful place.
A perfect chance to get to grips with your own Camera, either making that leap from automatic settings to manual mode, or simply improving your own photographic skills. by allowing yourself to really get creative. Learn about creative composition, texture and detail.
There is an abundance of photographic opportunity, allow yourself to be creatively immersed in the wonderful surrounding area. Not only will you be able to Photograph the beautiful Tarn itself, but a small wooden bridge leads up to a wonderful small woodland made up of Larch, Scots pine and sliver birch. A really quiet undisturbed place, perfect for personal reflection and creative connection! There is also a nearby stream...with an abundance of rocks and plants.
We will pause for a packed Lunch. Although there is a pub, a short drive away, we may go there later for a coffee!
