Two back to back one day workshops in Anglesey and Snowdonia. Available to book as single workshops or both days. Each day includes breakfast, Monday also includes late lunch. Filters are available on each day so if you have yet to purchase your own you can try for size before deciding which you’ll be buying when you return home.
Day One – Anglesey Lighthouses Monday November 9th. 6AM – 9PM £150
Fitness Level 2/5
Includes breakfast and lunch. We’ll meet before sunrise to catch the first light of the day at Lighthouse number 1. We’ll then travel accross the island to two more lighthouses to catch any possible sunset. After this we have a few exciting photo opportunities planned as we continue shooting after dark also revisiting one of the Lighthouses.

During the days I’ll be teaching various techniques and methods of work including.
- Landscape composition – using lead in lines, rule of thirds, separation and image structure.
- Focusing, hyperlocal distance and maximising depth of field.
- Long exposures with the use of filters.
- High Dynamic Range (HDR) images with exposure bracketing,
- Focus stacking and editing
- Creating panoramic images.
- During one of the evenings I’ll demonstrate my editing techniques using Lightroom and Photoshop to edit some of the images from that day.
Fitness Level Required: Monday 2/5 – Tuesday 3/5
We’ll be working in the mountains, near waterfalls, and on beaches. This will involve working on uneven ground and some inclines. A general level of fitness is required for this workshop. Due to the environment of this workshop, a number of locations are not accessible to wheelchair users.Photographic equipment required:
- A sturdy tripod is essential for landscape photography
- Lenses from wide angle to around 70mm. Lenses with a filter thread are ideal as these allow the use of filters, some extreme wide angel lenses such as 12-24mm don’t allow the use of conventional filters.
- A cable release for long exposures is an ideal and inexpensive way of activating your camera shutter
- Camera rain cover – either a bespoke cover or a simple plastic bag to protect your camera from the element
Other recommenced equipment.
- Warm and waterproof clothing including hat and gloves
- Sturdy walking boots, ideally waterproof
- Windproof umbrella – not essential but very helpful if the weather takes a turn for the worse.
