Saturday February 22nd – Peak District Landscapes Around Stanton Moor
This intermediate level course will explore some of the wonderful photographic subjects around Stanton Moor, between Bakewell and Matlock in the Peak District. Apart from the impressive disused quarry faces, there are abandoned millstones, a well-preserved blacksmith’s forge and a large stone cutting shed. There are also two stone circles (including the famous Nine Ladies) and other Bronze Age remains. This area is also a great location for sunsets, and as the course will run until after sunset at 5.30pm, we will be able to take photos during golden hour as well as at sunset if the conditions permit. The course is limited to a maximum of only 4 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.
