The course is limited to a maximum of only 6 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.
Saturday January 25th – Winter Landscapes in the White Peak.
This intermediate level course is being held in one of the Peak District‘s most beautiful valleys. 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 beautiful images. The course will run until sunset, so it will be a great chance to experience taking pictures in the low light conditions using long exposures. The course is limited to a maximum of only 4 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.

This intermediate level course will explore some of the wonderful photographic subjects around Stanton Moor, between Bakewell and Matlock in the Peak District.

There are also two stone circles (including the famous Nine Ladies) and other Bronze Age remains.

Saturday May 10th – Springtime Landscapes and Bluebells in the Peak District

After a pub lunch, we will visit another nearby location – which could be a stone circle, industrial remains in one of the disused quarries, or the famous Cork Stone. The course is limited to a maximum of only 4 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.
