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.
Saturday March 22nd – Landscape Photography on the Moors near Sheffield
This intermediate level landscape photography course will be held in the area around Fox House (on to the border between Sheffield and Derbyshire). This part of the Peak District offers a wonderful range of subjects – including waterfalls, colourful oak and birch woodlands, old millstone quarries, and natural gritstone outcrops. Since the sun will set just before the course finishes, we should also be able to get some great shots in golden hour light and at sunset if conditions permit. The course is limited to a maximum of only 4 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.
Saturday May 10th – Springtime Landscapes and Bluebells in the Peak District
This intermediate level landscape photography course has been timed to capture some of the Peak District‘s woodlands in springtime when they are looking their finest. We will spend the first part of the day in woods not far from Matlock photographing bluebells and other spring wild flowers, as well as the impressive ruined steam engine house of a former lead mine. 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.

On these courses, you will learn how to take control of your camera’s basic settings for exposure using shutter speeds, lens apertures and ISO, and adjust colour and focus to ensure you get more consistent and predictable results more of the time. You will also be given a printed sheet for your particular make and model of camera, telling you in plain English exactly how to adjust the most important settings that we will be learning to use on the day.
